FEATURED TITLE
WATERMELON SUMMERS
HEAVY. HOLY. HONEST.
WATERMELON SUMMERS is a Southern Afrofuturist coming-of-age novel by MR. TOMONOSHi—a lyrical, ceremonial autoethnography blending fiction, memory, and Black theological imagination. Framed as a field journal, it explores family, ritual, and emotional inheritance through the eyes of Coltrane Johnson III. A sacred record of Black life in the South. A spiritual archive disguised as a novel.
A curated trio of TOMONOSHi works that anchor the house’s imagination, philosophy, and emotional range.
