| In taut, exquisite prose, Canty explores the largest themes of life--work, love, death, destruction, rebirth--in the middle of the everyday. Set in Montana, "Everything" is a shimmering novel about unexpected redemption by a writer of deep empathy and prodigious talents. |
Annotation:
A nuanced meditation on love and loss, Kevin Canty's EVERYTHING opens with June and RL sharing a bottle of whiskey down by the river, both reminiscing about Taylor--June's husband and RL's old friend. Moving with the subdued but powerful current of a river, the novel traces the trajectory of the two friend's lives: RL's unexpected re-kindling of a relationship with a college flame now undergoing chemotherapy and June's attempts to sell her house and leave her grief behind. A thoughtful, emotionally rich tale told against the backdrop of Montana's gorgeous and rough-hewn countryside, EVERYTHING proves again Canty's gift for extracting the wrenching dramas of our everyday lives

Praise
"Canty's urgent, at times impressionistic prose generates moment after moment of intense emotion, falling flat only occasionally, and his characters are self-aware enough to keep the story from sinking into melodrama."
