About This Item
The book has some creases and minor loss of color on cover around edges only. On first inspection, appears near fine.
Richard Brautigan, for those unfamiliar with him, was a counter-culture author and poet. His novels are highly symbolic, at times abstract and more like poetry than prose. Personally, I find his choice of prose very thought inspiring and beautiful. In Watermelon Sugar is a good example of this style of writing and is a quick and easy read.

Synopsis
In Watermelon Sugar is a novella written by Richard Brautigan published in 1968. It is a tale of a commune organized around a central gathering house which is named "i". In this environment, many things are made of watermelon sugar — the inhabitants also use pine wood and stone for building material. The landscape of the novel is always changing. Each day has a different colored sun which creates different colored watermelons, and the central building also changes frequently.
