A heartbroken American writer starts a story about an ice-cold sombrero that falls inexplicably from the sky and lands in the centre of a small Southwest town. Devastated by the departure of his gorgeous Japanese girlfriend, he cannot concentrate on his writing and in frustration he throws away his beginning. But as the man searches through his apartment for strands of his lost love's hair, the discarded story in the wastepaper basket - through some kind of elaborate origami - carries on without him. Arguments over the sombrero begin, one thing leads to another and before long all hell breaks loose in the normally sleep town. Brautigan's fertile imagination twists and pulls at the ensuing chaos to come up with a tender, moving, surreal and incredibly funny tale that is told by a writer at the very peak of his creative powers.

This book is possibly THE book which started my romance with reading. It's a book you can devour again and again. It's funny,off-the-wall and beautiful. If you're looking for a book that will wrap you up entirely- this is it. The imagery is stirring and captivating. This book tells the story of a disatisfied writer and his relationship with a lovely woman. It also tells the tale of a story the writer threw away, yet is still continuing itself in his trashcan. You'll love this lovely and whimsical book.
