All Shall Be Well; And All Shall Be Well; And All Manner Of Things Shall Be Well by Tod Wodicka

A darkly comic, emotionally resonant novel about a reclusive, idiosyncratic former artist who retreats to a rundown small-town community to escape his past and becomes entangled with an oddball cast of neighbors; through witty, offbeat scenes the story probes memory, trauma, artistic failure, and the yearning for human connection, ultimately suggesting the possibility of small, surprising redemptions.
