Everything: A Novel

In taut, exquisite prose, Kevin Canty explores the largest themes of lifeâ‚¬"work, love, death, destruction, rebirthâ‚¬"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 Taylorâ‚¬s fiftieth and last birthday. Taylor was RLâ‚¬s boyhood friend and Juneâ‚¬s husband, but after eleven years, June, a childless hospice worker, finally declares sheâ‚¬s â‚¬Å“nobodyâ‚¬s widow anymore.â‚¬Â Anxious for a new beginning, June considers selling her beloved house. RL, a divorcedÂ empty-nester, faces a major change, too, when he agrees to lodge his college girlfriend, Betsy, while she undergoes chemotherapy. Caught between Betsyâ‚¬s anguish and Juneâ‚¬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 â‚¬Å“knocks you down.â‚¬Â

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.
