Questa serie introduce il lettore a Paul Chowder, un protagonista tanto intelligente quanto notevolmente senza pretese. Le sue osservazioni del mondo circostante sono spesso e spassosamente acute, rivelando verità più profonde sulla natura umana. Ogni episodio offre una miscela unica di umorismo intellettuale e una prospettiva gentile sulle vicende quotidiane della vita.
Baker's novel is narrated by Paul Chowder, a poet of some little reknown who is sitting in his barn most of the time trying to write the introduction to a new anthology of poetry called 'Only Rhyme'. What unfolds is a wholly entertaining and beguiling love story about poetry, among other things.
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.
