Willard & His Bowling Trophies

by Richard Brautigan

Another sad, moving, funny slice of midwest american weirdness from Richard god rest his weary soul.. Think Coen Brothers meet Woody Allen over a couple of bongs. Basically it's about three brothers who go on the rampage looking for their stolen bowling trophies but it's not really about them at all - it's about Bob and Constance and "the Story of O Game". It's about love and loss. You must seek out this book and read it and then you will be a better person.
