Book Talk "Watermelon Sugar"

This is very beautifully written. It has very short one page chapters that read like free verse poetry. The author paints pictures of an alternate universe where most structures are made from watermelon sugar. Tigers used to rule over people, but then the people broke free. The author of the story doesn't have name that we can understand and he lives longer than other people. It is the first book that has been written in years in the place where he's from. ideath.
It is a story about his writing of the story. During the process he falls in love with a new girl, immediately after a breakup with his old girl friend. It is biographical of what he is going through, and what the town is going through.
