We'll All Be Burnt In Our Beds Some Night by Joel Hynes

A volatile, foul-mouthed misfit from Newfoundland spirals after a shattering loss, violating probation and fleeing across Canada as his life lurches from barroom brawls to motel rooms and long stretches of highway. Along the way, his swagger and violence collide with moments of bleak humor and vulnerability, exposing grief, addiction, and deep familial scars. The chaotic road trip becomes a raw reckoning with the damage he’s done and the faint, uncertain possibility of redemption.
