LEYDIER Michel, African American women to the new Watermelon Man, 1997, De La Loupiote
Jazz in one of 18 new, but the music is everywhere highlighted (under the title of each story) in the form of some verses of a song (unfortunately translated into French) followed by the title and the author. The song really perfectly announces the tone and atmosphere of the story. It's very well done, and each short story, maintains a real thriller with a surprising drop ever. One that concerns us Watermelon Man does not have many quotes but the atmosphere is jazz.
Exergue: "Jazz is not dead, he just has a funny smell" Frank Zappa & "I saw the needle and its devastation / A little content in each of her / Every junkie is a setting sun "(The Needle And The Damage Done) Neil Young.
Watermelon Man" Jimmy Brown polished his sax with love [...] the slow movements of Jimmy sweeping shadows stealth posters covering the walls. Miles leaning on his trumpet. Bird silhouette rigid with his sax [...] The four Mellow Boys attacked with Watermelon Man, Herbie Hancock classic "The song titles
