In this collection entered two most sign works of Бротигана 1960th - "In water-melon sugar" and "Fishing in America".Charmingly reckless surrealism novel "In water-melon sugar", is a strange fairy-tale for adults, in that an action takes place in the whimsically-toy "water-melon world", where monuments put to the herbares and clouds, reasonable and very polite (but from that no less carnivorous) tigers dwell, and from the color of grown water-melons depends very and very great deal."Fishing in America", that brought to the author world glory, двухмиллионный drawing and in truth cult status, was repeatedly named critics "антироманом", is this cleanly modernistic work, in that Бротиган consciously renounces usual narrative forms and immerses a reader in the area of психоделического kaleidoscope of the reasons and characters, understood, rather, intuitively, than logically.A book contains an unprintable bad language
