Travelling Sprinkler - Nicholson Baker

Paul Chowder is a poet but he's fallen out of love with writing poems. He hasn't fallen out of love with his ex-girlfriend Roz though. In fact he misses her desperately. As he struggles to come to terms with Roz's new relationship with a doctor Paul turns to his acoustic guitar for comfort and inspiration and fills his days writing protest songs going to Quaker meetings struggling through Planet Fitness workouts wondering if he could become a techno DJ and experimenting with becoming a cigar smoker. Written in Baker's beautifully unconventional prose and scored with musical influences from Debussy to Tracy Chapman to Paul himself Travelling Sprinkler is an enchanting hilarious and deeply necessary novel. 'I think the job of the novelist is to write about interesting things including things that might not seem all that interesting at first glance and to offer evidence that life is worth living' Nicholson Baker
