“Perhaps you were lying in bed, almost ready to go to sleep, and you laughed at something, a joke unto yourself a good way to end the day.
That is my name.
Or you were eating something good and for a second forgot what you were eating, but still went on, knowing it was good.
That is my name.”
This book has the incredible talent of doing so much in such a short space. Just over 100 pages and yet Brautigan has managed to creat an amazingly perplex and strange world, seemingly filled to the brim with such sad, sweet characters.
It seems like such a simple story, one man writing about the goings on around him, who he talks to, what they say, and everything around him, watermelon sugar.
The amazing imagery used by Brautigan throughout this little book leads to the amazing feeling of immersion within the story, feeling both wonder at the amazing little town of iDeath visualised, while also feeling at home almost like everything happening even the changing colours of the sun is completely natural, like you have seen it a thousand times and over.
This book is truly an amazing way for me to start off my year of reading.
