Full description for Everything
In taut, exquisite prose, Kevin Canty explores the largest themes of life--work, love, death, destruction, rebirth--in the middle of the everyday. On the fifth of July, RL and June go down to the river with a bottle of Johnnie Walker Red to commemorate Taylor's fiftieth and last birthday. Taylor was RL's boyhood friend and June's husband, but after eleven years, June, a childless hospice worker, finally declares she's "nobody's widow anymore." Anxious for a new beginning, June considers selling her beloved house. RL, a divorced empty-nester, faces a major change, too, when he agrees to lodge his college girlfriend, Betsy, while she undergoes chemotherapy. Caught between Betsy's anguish and June's hope, the cynical RL is brought face-to-face with his own sense of futility, and the longing to experience the kind of love that "knocks you down." Set in Montana, reflecting the beauty of its landscape and the independence of its people, "Everything" is a shimmering novel about unexpected redemption by a writer of deep empathy and prodigious talents.
