In Watermelon Sugar is Richard Brautigan's novel published in 1968. It describes a world where everything is made of watermelon sugar, and a different sun shines every day. In the centre of that world is iDeath - a utopian environment without violence or ego. Each citizen has his own small tasks and activities, how to spend endless, gently balanced days. Underneath the idyll, however, there are still traces of past bloodsheds and some people find it hard to put up with the phlegmatic rhythm of the new peace era. Is violence natural and inevitable to man, and how is this expressed in a world that does not admit to its existence?
