For the love of Bob
Something odd is bobbing up on the waves of American life. Bill Murray stars in box office sensation What About Bob? And Killer Bob returns to Twin Peaks on June 10. Such sightings tend to confirm what writers David Rensin and Bill Zehme predict in The Bob Book: A Celebration of the Ultimate Okay Guy — the ’90s will be totally Bob. The authors see their paperback as a handbook for a new and simpler life. ”Bobs represent back-to-basics,” Zehme says. Below, a selection.
