What was my life in pink and green book about?

The book "In Watermelon Sugar" was written by Richard Brautigan who wrote "In Watermelon Sugar" as an escape into surrealism at a time when that style had fallen out of vogue amongst most serious writers, making its publication in 1968 particularly notable. While many readers enjoyed the whimsical quality of Brautigan's storytelling, critics did not respond especially well.
