Description
Three brothers set out across a strange, offbeat Midwest to recover their stolen bowling trophies, only to find themselves drawn into a more elusive story of love, loss, and personal myth. Around them move Bob, Constance, and the enigmatic “Story of O Game,” figures whose lives give the quest an unexpectedly poignant emotional dimension. Blending deadpan humor, melancholy, surreal turns, and understated tenderness, the novel transforms an absurd errand into a meditation on what people cling to—and what they can never retrieve.
