Representaion During Books In Watermelon Sugar
393. In Watermelon Sugar, Richard BrautiganIn Watermelon Sugar is an American post-apocalyptic novel by Richard Brautigan written in 1964 and published in 1968. Set in the aftermath of a fallen civilization, it focuses on a commune organized around a central gathering house which is named "iDEATH". In this environment, many things are made of watermelon sugar (though the inhabitants also use pine wood and stone for building material and fuel made from trout oil). The landscape of the novel is constantly in flux; each day has a different colored sun which creates different colored watermelons, and the central building also changes frequently. The novel's narrator, who is left unnamed, claims to be writing an investigative book on his experiences at iDEATH.

نقل از متن: مارگریت را دیدم که از یک درخت سیب در کنار کلبه اش بالا میرفت. گریه میکرد و یک روسری دور گردنش گره زده بود. طرف دیگر روسری را که رها بود گرفت و به یکی از شاخه ها که پر از سیبهای کال بود، بست. شاخه را رها کرد و بعد در هوا معلق شد. دیگر به مجسمه ی آیینه ها نگاه نکردم. به قدر کافی برای آنروز دیده بودم. روی نیمکت کنار رودخانه نشستم و به برکه ی عمیقی که در آنجا بود خیره شدم. مارگریت مرده بود. پایان نقل. ا. شربیانی

Cry. Laugh. Cry and laugh. The sentences are written simply and they convey emotions both simple and awfully complicated. The story is deliberately strange and surreal but within it lies some odd reliability. The characters come across as being mildly detached and alien, but they still feel pain and love. Brautigan creates a whole new world in a hundred pages and it's breathtaking, funny, groundbreaking, depressing, and bleakly beautiful. It's like nothing else...and it's fucking perfect.The weirdest book I've ever read!
Sad, strange beauty, like staring at a silent black stone thrown into the stream, and the circles which follow, soundless.

I return to this book a lot. Recently, I think I offended a friend by being nosy about their previous name before they legally changed it. I read this chapter and mulled over my mistake:MY NAME I guess you are kind of curious as to who I am, but I am one of those who do not have a regular name. My name depends on you. Just call me whatever is in your mind. If you are thinking about something that happened a long time ago: Somebody asked you a question and you did not know the answer. That is my
In Watermelon Sugar serves as a kind of free-verse poetry, and it's one of the strangest but ultimately most wonderful books of poetry I've ever read. Bleakly nostalgic and bittersweet, it's a thought-provoking work, but one that as a reader it's best not to try and think too hard about, and instead to be immersed in. It's a surreal and quite off-beat work, and it certainly won't appeal to every reader, but In Watermelon Sugar captures in a memorable way perhaps the substance and depth of
Remarkable imagination. At times funny yet dark overall. Poetic yet simple lines. One of the two books that I am planning to re-read again and again.Richard Brautigan (1935-1984), born in Tacoma, Washington, wrote this novella only for around 60 days in 1964, the year I was born. However, this was only published in 1968. In Watermelon Sugar was his 3rd novel after he earlier got noticed with his first, A Confederate General From Big Sur and got catapulted to international fame with his second,
