What is the author's style in the novel, Confederate General from Big Sur?

Brautigan's prose is sparse, composed of unemotionally observed details. This direct, matter-of-fact style emphasizes the novel's philosophical refusal to make value judgments in a world in which good and evil are simply part of a never-ending pattern beyond man's comprehension. There is no attempt to explain contradictions, for in Confederate General from Big Sur, unlike the conforming world which the novel rejects, consistency has no particular value.
