Conversations and adventures with the people he finds in bowling alleys at all hours of the day and nightretired Maine lobstermen, saucy European nannies, recovering addicts, former bowling champions, college students, World War II vets and lingerie saleswomen, to name a fewcombine to form a picture of what America looks like while standing in a pair of rented shoes.Hilarious, insightful and at times moving, BOWLING ACROSS AMERICA is an epic journey that will enthrall readers everywhere.

A fun book about a guy with a pre-mid-life crisis and the lengths he goes to in order to deal with grief and life.
