A thoughtful exploration of growing up, growing old, and of whether you can, in fact, go home again, by one of the twentieth century's greatest writers.
George Bowling is forty-five year old insurance salesman with a wife and two kids. In an attempt to escape the monotonous banality of his life he takes some money that he won gambling and uses it to finance a trip to where he grew up, to see places and faces that he remembers from his youth. Unfortunately for George, reality isn't as rosy as his memories.
