Many critics consider Richard Brautigan's 1967 novel Trout Fishing in America a coming-ofageaccount of a wayward, outsider narrator discovering that the pastoral mode is no longer viable in midcenturyAmerica. However, these readings often ignore Brautigan's explicit political affinity and hisconscious engagement with a specific setting-southern California in the mid- to late-60s. This paperexplores Brautigan's Counterculture ethic, which critiques the mindless prevalence of mainstream,middle-class America's habit of consumption, production, and destruction of the natural world. Linkingthe lack of individual free will with the postwar technology boom, Brautigan engages with the naturallandscape and in communities of one's own making. As a result, the novel is peopled with alienateddrop-outs, the victims of America's technocracy. The "trout fishing in America" refrain, with its manyincarnations, is one of the modes through which these characters' operate within Countercultureprinciples, namely through their self-imposed poverty and criticism of the way America uses and abusesits citizens and the natural world.
