Opis

'Sombrero Fallout' concerns an American humorist who is struggling to come to terms with the break-up of a relationship. He tries to write, but he can't. A failed attempt ends up in the waste-paper bin, and then this story assumes a life of its own.

Recenzje

Brautigan's comic touch is predictably unerring and the hilarious narrative development is studded with wry surreal gags New Statesman
