This collection includes two of Brautigan's most iconic works of the 1960s. – “In Watermelon Sugar” and “Fishing in America.” The charmingly crazy surreal novel “In Watermelon Sugar” is a strange fairy tale for adults, in which the action takes place in a whimsical toy “watermelon world”, where monuments are erected to grasses and clouds, inhabit intelligent and very polite (but no less carnivorous) tigers, and very, very much depends on the color of the watermelons grown. “Fishing in America,” which brought the author world fame, a two-million circulation and truly cult status, was repeatedly called by critics an “anti-novel.” , is a purely modernist work in which Brautigan consciously abandons conventional narrative forms and immerses the reader in the realm of a psychedelic kaleidoscope of motifs and images, understood more intuitively than logically. The book contains obscene language
