A brain argues with a non-brain about how to remain productive from a place of exhaustion; two supernaturally inclined twins named Han are separated at birth; and an emerging artist paralyzed by possibility considers how best to transform a melon into a breakthrough work of art. Incorporating elements of fable, surrealism, satire, and art and cultural criticism, these stories have a playful peculiarity to them, an interweaving of self-deprecation and curiosity, of woe and hope, of absurdity and humanity. Reader, you will want to savor every bite.\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sarabande Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50077554966813,"sku":"9781956046410","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/5692\/5213\/files\/9781956046410.jpg?v=1750276558","url":"https:\/\/bookdelico.com\/products\/longest-way-to-eat-a-melon","provider":"Book Delico ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
