Intriguing and engaging, Bob Comet gets under your skin. His story is revealled slowly with utmost skill. His reoccurring dream is infused with a feeling of falling in love...a precious thing, like an apple bobbed for by a 71 year old man. To possess such a treasure even briefly is worth great personal risk, moving beyond the introvert’s comfort zone. Intelligent and broad spectrum characters, theatre of the absurd life occurrence, pathos, sweetness and such hilarious dialogue. Loved this book so much.
