'In Watermelon Sugar'

I read this book while violently ill.

However, this is the perfect book to read while violently ill. It's a very calming, unintense and flowing story about a place that runs on watermelon oil and has tigers that eat people.

It's split into these really short chapters that do not necessarily signify any kind of change in the plot, passage of time or any real structural duty, but somehow bring the entire story together.

It was digestible unlike many things at the time.

Unbeknownst to me, one of my favorite Neko Case songs is taken from the book.
