in watermelon sugar the deeds were done and done again as my life is done in watermelon sugar. i'll tell you about it because i am here and you are distant. wherever you are, we must do the best we can. it is so far to travel, and we have nothing here to travel, except watermelon sugar. i hope this works out.

the books we need are the kind that act upon us like a misfortune, that make us suffer like the death of someone we love more than ourselves, that make us feel as though we were on the verge of suicide, or lost in a forest remote from all human habitation - a book should serve as the ax for the frozen sea within us.
