Dreaming of Babylon is a whimsically and outrageously acid post noir dusky comedy.
What if a private eye is a clueless and incorrigible loser and at that, he keeps trying to do tough tricks in the style of an invincible hardboiled detective? Then his doings become a film noir turned inside out 鈥� a grotesque postmodern nightmare.
鈥淭hings are never so bad they can鈥檛 be made worse,鈥� 鈥� is literally a protagonist鈥檚 motto.
Playing a bad game keep a good face and hope to survive.
First, the good news: I found out that I was 4F and wasn鈥檛 going off to World War II to be a soldier boy. I didn鈥檛 feel unpatriotic at all because I had fought my World War II five years before in Spain and had a couple of bullet holes in my ass to prove it.
I鈥檒l never figure out why I got shot in the ass. Anyway, it made a lousy war story. People don鈥檛 look up to you as a hero when you tell them you were shot in the ass. They don鈥檛 take you seriously but that wasn鈥檛 my problem any more at all. The war that was starting for the rest of America was over for me.
Now for the bad news: I didn鈥檛 have any bullets for my gun. I had just gotten a case that I needed my gun for but I was fresh out of bullets. The client that I was going to meet later on in the day for the first time wanted me to show up with a gun and I knew that an empty gun was not what they had in mind.
What if a private eye is a clueless and incorrigible loser and at that, he keeps trying to do tough tricks in the style of an invincible hardboiled detective? Then his doings become a film noir turned inside out 鈥� a grotesque postmodern nightmare.

鈥淢y uncle discovered oil in Rhode Island!鈥� I yelled across at her. 鈥淚 own half of it. I鈥檓 rich. Twenty thousand cash for this pile of shit you call an apartment building! Twenty-five thousand!鈥� I yelled. 鈥淚 want to marry you and raise a whole family of little apartment buildings! I want our wedding certificate printed on a No Vacancy sign!鈥�

I suppose we only give significance to these numbers because we happen to have ten fingers, but for what it鈥檚 worth this is my 500th review on GR. I joined almost exactly 7 years ago and I鈥檝e 鈥渞eviewed鈥� every book I鈥檝e read since then (plus a handful that I read before I joined).
Like most of Brautigan鈥檚 books, Dreaming of Babylon is a short and easy read. It鈥檚 his entry in the 鈥渟poof detective novel鈥� genre. C. Card is a Walter Mitty type character who spends all his days daydreaming about being a super-cool hero in ancient Babylon, except that his imagining of ancient Babylon is really mid-twentieth century USA with the Hanging Gardens and the Ishtar Gate thrown in, along with some Metropolis style early sci-fi. Card鈥檚 daydreaming means he barely functions in society, but officially he鈥檚 a private detective.
Initially I wasn鈥檛 very taken with the novel. The first third or so is a description of C. Card and his life, and I thought it was so-so. The book really picked up when he is actually hired by a client and starts off on an increasingly weird and, for me, very funny adventure that involves, appropriately enough, a murdered hooker, a tough-as-nails police detective, a wealthy and glamorous blonde and her man-mountain of a chauffeur/bodyguard. The crime story doesn鈥檛 really make sense but then, it isn鈥檛 meant to.
C. Card is a guy who has to cope with a lot. Other characters in the book tell him his life would be better if he didn鈥檛 spend all his time dreaming of Babylon. Then again, it鈥檚 only by dreaming of Babylon that he can get through the day.

This wasn鈥檛 bad but probably my least favourite Richard Brautigan book that I鈥檝e read so far.
December 13, 2019
The Less You Look, the More You Find
This is a nicely deconstructed private eye story that takes you around the block in a borrowed vehicle and drops you right back where you started, except that by the end the protagonist has the corpse of an attractive woman (une femme morte, rather than fatale) in his refrigerator (we learn how she got there, but not really who she is or why she was killed).
It's definitely worth the price of admission, but I can't really rate it any more than three stars, for all the bewilderment available in its pages. Fortunately, there are both real live and fantasy women in the tale as well. This is the description of a real live woman:
That about sums it up. You're not meant to believe it.
Honey Tangle with a Bad News Girl
[A Pastiche Inspired by Faux]
I was sitting in my office, drinking a cup of coffee, and thinking. This is what I was thinking about.
I like the name Smith. I even prefer it to my own name. My surname is Nichols. It's got two syllables. I like a name to have just one, like Smith.
There are other reasons I don't like Nichols. If you added just one letter, you could change Nichols into Nicholas. Nicholas has three syllables, so I don't like it. But the other reason I don't like it is that it sounds like knickerless. I can't stand the thought of anybody thinking of me being knickerless, every time they hear my name. I don't like the thought of anybody sniggering when they hear my name.
Nobody sniggers when they hear the name Smith, even if they think it's a bit mundane, like Jones.
This is about where I was up to when the phone rang and I picked it up and said, 鈥淗ello...Nichols.鈥�
The person at the other end of the phone guffawed, even though I hadn't said Nicholas.
鈥淲ho's this?鈥� I asked, not particularly politely.
鈥淢arky Smith,鈥� said the voice at the other end of the line.
I laughed. My laugh didn't amount to a guffaw, because I was talking to somebody whose surname was Smith, and I like the name Smith.
The reason I laughed is that I am a big fan of a band called the Fall, and the leader of the band is Mark E. Smith. So even though I thought that this person said he was 鈥淢arky鈥� Smith, and it sounded so much like Mark E. Smith, I still thought he was saying Marky Smith, and he was trying to amuse me.
The other thing that amused me was that he already knew I was a private eye, and he asked if I could investigate his wife, who he thought was having an affair with his bass player. At least it wasn't his drummer. Just to get things straight, I asked him to tell me his wife's name. I was surprised when he said it was 鈥淭wo Bricks Smith鈥�. I didn't ask why he called her 鈥淭wo Bricks", in case he said she was thick. I knew her music well enough to appreciate that she was more bright than thick.
So I asked Marky if he minded if I called her 2Bricks. He said he didn't mind, because it sounded the same, just like his name sounded like Marky, besides it was her name, not his, and it didn't really matter to him, now that they were going to be divorced, as soon as I could prove she was having an affair.
He quickly agreed to my standard fee of 拢1,500, even though it was a long time since I had bought one of his albums, even back then, when 2Bricks was still in the band and their sound had become a bit more commercially appealing. I thought that he would have been short of cash, like I was, but he didn't hesitate to agree to my fee.
I gave him my account details, and when I checked it the next morning, the money was already in my account.
We had agreed that I would wait outside the Fall's rehearsal room that night, and follow 2Bricks wherever she went. The bass player went off by himself. I can't remember his name. He wasn't a Smith or even a Nichols.
This left me to follow 2Bricks without distraction. She went around the corner and entered a pub, which was well-known, but I'd never been there before.
She sat in a booth in a corner near the entrance, and I walked up to the bar and ordered a draught beer. While it was being poured, a waitress came into the bar area, and asked the barman to make a dry martini. It was for 2Bricks.
The waitress didn't take it over to the booth. Instead, she placed it on the counter beside me. Last time I'd looked, there was nobody sitting beside me, but when I turned around, there was 2Bricks, sitting on a stool next to me.
She lifted her martini to her lips, and took a sip, then she said, 鈥淵ou work for my husband, don't you?鈥�
I wasn't used to being caught out this quickly. I didn't know how to respond, so I said yes. She laughed, and asked me whether I'd like a better-paying job. Naively, I revealed that this one paid pretty well. She seemed to deflate when I told her how much, as if my fee was a measure of her worth. She hadn't realised that, up to that point, it was a measure of her worth...to me. She soon convinced me otherwise.
鈥淗ow about I pay you 拢10,000 to bring me the head of Marky Smith?鈥�
鈥淥n a plate?鈥� I asked, without trying to sound uninterested. 鈥淚t depends on the quality of the plate.鈥�
鈥淵ou choose the plate. It's built into the fee. It's your responsibility.鈥�
鈥淥K,鈥� I conceded, with no further argument. I鈥檝e just realised I haven't told you how beautiful 2Bricks is. You could say her beauty was very persuasive. Mind you, so is 拢10,000.
I gave her my account details, and as with Marky, the funds were in my account the following morning. They were even sourced from the same account, which I assumed was Marky's. So Marky was paying for his own murder. Or would have, if I had carried out my brief.
By now, you might have inferred that I didn鈥檛 carry out my brief. That is but one inference. The real issue is why I didn't.
The truth is that, as much as I had been a fan of Adult Net, I was always a bigger fan of Marky Smith and the Fall. When the time came, I just couldn't bring myself to kill Marky. Instead, I found myself unable to resist 2Bricks' sexual advances and indulged in a delightful affair with her, while still somehow retaining the 拢10,000 (not to mention Marky's 拢1,500), even if I spent some of it on beers for me and martinis for her. So, ultimately, Smith prevailed over Nichols, and vindicated my theory of single-syllable surnames.

This might just be the most filmable detective story ever written. I'm too lazy to do the research to see if it has been - but since it doesn't come to mind immediately as a classic, that just means it needs to be done again if it was already done.
Don't be fooled by C. Card, Private Dick. He might look off into the distance, inexplicably, in a near-drool slackjaw moment. It's not because he has a room temperature I.Q. - he's just mind-shifted away from this temporal plane to his more preferred existence, his Dream of Babylon. He might be on a long losing streak, stretching so far back that he can't remember his last decent meal, or to whom he owes money - but his new client is sure to bring him square. If only he can remember to stop day dreaming long enough about Babylon to take the case. Oh, and find a way to get bullets for his gun.

Somebody should have taken him to a stationary store and pointed out the difference between an envelope and a whore.
And so we are introduced to the prostitute that C.Card is hired to relocate in this slightly surreal, slightly bizarro spoof of the classic hardboiled detective genre.
Spoof and parody are dangerous words, in the wrong hands they can become old very quickly but when care is taken, skill used and a genuine appreciation (bare minimum) of the source material is in play they can be very good. Brautigan clearly had talent and he certainly seems to have enjoyed himself with the creation of C.Card, derelict private eye.
鈥淪he wore a loose bathrobe that covered up a body that would have won first prize in a beauty contest for cement blocks.....She had a voice that made pearl harbour sound like a lullaby.鈥�
Card as a character is without any great depth but works as an unintelligent version of the traditional hardboiled PI's you might find in the depths of the substandard Chandler clones of the era this novel is set in and as such is great fun. I was reminded of the excitement I had in discovering Lazlo Woodbine, 's recurring metafictional private eye, upon reading for the first time, recommended reading for fans of idiot hardboiled self aware gumshoes in fantastical storylines.
鈥淗e looked as if he'd got a lot of pleasure out of going ten rounds with your grandmother and making sure she went the whole distance.鈥�
The hardboiled nature of Cards life and the dialogue he spouts are pure class to the point I wish Brautigan had simply written trashy pulp rather than trying to deconstruct the subgenre with his highly literate humour. I don't have a problem with it, I just love a good solid trashy action noir pulp and this had all the makings of one. The deconstruction has a lot in common with Robert Altman's take on The Long Goodbye; released four years prior to Brautigan's work was published and if I thought Brautigan was the type of guy to watch movies I'd suggest it influenced him.
As with my previous Brautigan experience, the surreal aspects of the text, whilst being interesting, detracted from my personal enjoyment of the novel. The actual dreaming of Babylon chapters are fun and were nowhere near as bizarre as the discovery of the origin of The Hawkline Monster but failed to engage me as much as the rest of the book, still without them my brain may not have had anything to question and Brautigan's insight in to the genre would not have been so apparent.
I'm not sure where to turn next in my exploration of Brautigan's work but I know I'm definitely going to keep reading him.

I don鈥檛 write reviews.
I could be good at many things too... if I wasn鈥檛 always dreaming of Babylon. I live in the dreamworld and I鈥檓 often told it鈥檚 not good for me. Perhaps it causes me inconveniences, but overall it鈥檚 better to live happily. The 鈥渞eal鈥� world is full of monsters of our own creation. If you can dream your own reality, those monsters can鈥檛 hurt you anymore.
But we were talking about the book, weren鈥檛 we? I was lost in dreams once again. This is a story I enjoyed reading many years ago. This time I listened to it and found new ways of enjoying it. It鈥檚 deeply funny and deeply sad at the same time. Kind of like life.

Take Bukowski's Belane and Pynchon's Sportello, add them both together, divide their combined effectiveness by about ten, and you get quite possibly the world's worst private eye yet, Brautigan's Card. An impressive feat, to be sure.

[7/10]
When the going gets tough, the toughs escape to Babylon!
It doesn鈥檛 get much tougher than the career of C. Card as a private eye. It is 1942 and he is penniless, his car repossessed, his rent several months overdue, his secretary gone and his case list a big zero. He owns money to every former friend, including a police sergeant and he is ready to throw in the towel and move back in with his overbearing mother.
I鈥檇 much rather be in ancient Babylon then in the Twentieth Century trying to put two bits together for a hamburger and I love Nana-dirat more than any woman I鈥檝e ever met in the flesh.
The reason our first person narrator is such a wreck is his habit of taking refuge from reality into an alternate universe, modelled after the wonders of ancient Babylon, a place where he is everything he cannot be on the regular plane of existence: a successful baseball player, a smart and tough as nails detective, a lover of the most beautiful woman in town, a DJ, an actor, et caetera.
My Hamlet will have a happy ending.
Ah, paradise! There can be paradise on earth if you鈥檙e a Babylonian baseball star.
Everything is possible in this imaginary world, so our hero prefers to spend his hours day-dreaming like a sleepwalker instead of pulling himself up by his bootstraps. C Card is not so much hard-boiled as pickled in a marinade of depression and penury. Yet, things are looking up for him, if only he can control his escapist impulses.
... what a day it has been so far: a client! Bullets for my gun! Five dollars! And best of all, a dead landlady!
Who could ask for anything more?
>>><<<>>><<<
I鈥檝e had Brautigan on my radar for years. I was pretty sure I already tried one of his novels, but apparently this is my first foray into his fiction, picked mostly because I am a big fan of classic detective stories and 鈥楧reaming of Babylon鈥� has this special 鈥榟ook鈥� under the title : a private eye novel: 1942
The story surpassed my expectations up until the last couple of chapters, when the plot unravelled abruptly. I guess this is a case where the journey is more important than the destination, because I laughed out loud over every chapter, and I really enjoyed the delivery that is both satirical and extremely accurate of the idiom of crime fiction from the 1940s.
This whole thing was just like a pulp detective story. I couldn鈥檛 believe it. [...]
The world sure is a strange place. No wonder I spend so much time dreaming of Babylon. It鈥檚 safer.
The plot starts well, with an engaging narrator and a mystery case delivered by a bombshell lady client. The cast of secondary characters is colourful and wild, with visits to a police station, a morgue, several bars, car chases and even a midnight stroll through a cemetery.
The delivery is deadpan and the writing tight with staccato bursts of very short sentences. Most of the humorous parts rely on the contrast between the reader expectations of a good pulp novel and the mishaps caused by the narrator鈥檚 intermittent grasp of reality.
Also by the subversion of conventional characters, like that of the femme fatale:
鈥淚 don鈥檛 know where she put all the beer,鈥� the hood started talking hysterically. 鈥淪he had ten beers and she didn鈥檛 go to the toilet. She just kept drinking beer and not going to the toilet. She was so skinny. There was no place for the beer to go inside her body but she kept packing it away. She had at least ten beers. There was no room for the beer!鈥� he screamed. 鈥淣o room!鈥�
I was going to rate the book three stars, mostly from the let down of the muddled finish, but then I read more about the author鈥檚 life online, which put the personality of C Card into a different, more tragic perspective.
This book is not a gratuitous satire of the noir genre. The subtext is a study of depression, of isolation and of a society that often sends dreamers and oddballs to the gutter.
My own laugh at C Card鈥檚 antics is, if I am totally honest, tinged with a squirming awareness that I am not so different from him when it comes to taking refuge in an imaginary world when the going gets tough. I have just got better at disguising this tendency as I got older, and I was luckier than Card in my choices of friends and careers, but Babylon is a place I used to visit a lot in my youth.
鈥淗ello, swinging cats of Babylon!鈥� I would say. 鈥淭his is your servant of sound C. Card playing music to light your dreams by, and we鈥檒l start out with Miss Nana-dirat, our songbird of forbidden pleasure, singing 鈥榃hen Irish Eyes Are Smiling.鈥�
I hope I will find the time to read more from Richard Brautigan and to confirm the good impression left by this visit to Babylon.

Reading Richard Brautigan always puts a smile on my face. This, his first time delving into an actual genre, I was hoping it may turn out like a mash-up of Pynchon's Inherent Vice and The Maltese Falcon. Not really the way it turned out, and I can't say it's one of my faves, but there were individual moments and some great one-liners that had me cracking up!
The only thing this has in common with The Maltese Falcon鈥攁lright, besides San Francisco and the PI business, is that of a bird. A turkey though. As C. Card is one giant turkey when it comes to being a private detective. No car鈥攈e takes the bus, can't afford bullets for his gun, sings Christmas carols in the shower鈥攖his being July, and can't keep his mind on the job because he's a Grade-A gold-medallist daydreamer. He even has to pretend having had a frontal lobotomy to stop his wondering daydreams.
Daydreams of being a General in the military, a star baseball player, running the best Mexican restaurant in town, being a big bandleader and having his own radio station. Oh...and being the best private dick around, of course. All this, but in Babylon, 596 B.C.!
I mean, does Brautigan have an imagination or what!
The basic premise, when not daydreaming of Babylon, is taking a job from a beer-guzzling wealthy dame who hires him to steal a dead prostitute from the morgue. From here it turns into a madcap escapade as two other goons were hired to steal the same body but end up stealing the wrong one, and a gang of four others where hired to steal the right body from Card as he makes his to a 1.00am rendezvous鈥攁t a cemetery.
As detective fiction goes then this doesn't really cut the mustard. There is little depth and it ends up going nowhere. But hey, this is Brautigan having fun, and I did enjoy it.
Now....back to my award-winning Hot Dog stand near the Lighthouse of Alexandria....

This novel is nothing more than a series of set-ups for not-quite-funny-enough one-liners.
It did not improve after page 150.
Think of it as an attempted mating of the works of The Firesign Theater and early Woody Allen only not-funny.
Told in vignettes with the kind of non sequiturs paranoid schizophrenics find hilarious.
Ross H. Spencer fooled around for awhile with this genre: heavy handed attempted parodies of 30s-40s Pulp magazine private eye novelettes.
This book was written seven years before Brautigan would take a .44 Magnum and air out his brain pan. It was a month before his decomposed body was found by a concerned friend.
Brautigan was a fierce and frequent drunk and suffered periods of deep, dark despair.
I presume this novel was a wretched attempt at cheering himself up.
Nostrovia!
