Vikram Seth’s famous work, The Tale of Melon City, is well-known for being a humorous and almost child-like poem in the uniquely ridiculous nature of its story. The poem follows the story of its “just and placid king” who tries to be a model for an extremely literal form of justice and largely succeeds, in a most unusual way. The ideas that serve as the driving force of the piece, however, are much more significant, and as an analysis into topics such as governance, laissez-faire, and justice, The Tale of Melon City works very nicely as a piece that can be both amusing, and somewhat thought-provoking in its own unique way.
