**AN INTERNATIONAL No. 1 BESTSELLER**'I absolutely adored it' NINA
STIBBE**Selected as a Washington Post Book of the Summer**From
bestselling and award-winning author Patrick deWitt comes a novel
about an ordinary man who thought life's surprises were behind him
- until a chance encounter changed
everything________________________________________________Bob Comet
is a retired librarian passing his solitary days surrounded by
books in a mint-colored house in Portland, Oregon. One morning on
his daily walk he encounters a confused elderly woman lost in a
market and returns her to the senior center that is her home.
Hoping to fill the void he's known since retiring, he begins
volunteering at the center. Here, as a community of strange peers
gathers around Bob, and following a happenstance brush with a
painful complication from his past, the events of his life and the
details of his character are revealed. Behind Bob Comet's straight
man facade is the story of an unhappy child's runaway adventure
during the last days of the Second World War, of true love won and
stolen away, of the purpose and pride found in the librarian's
vocation, and the pleasures of a life lived to the side of the
masses. Comet's experiences are imbued with melancholy but also a
bright, sustained comedy, he has a talent for locating bizarre and
outsized players to welcome onto the stage of his life. With his
inimitable verve, skewed humor, and compassion for the outcast,
Patrick deWitt has written a wide-ranging and ambitious document of
the introvert's condition. The Librarianist celebrates the
extraordinary in the so-called ordinary life, and depicts
beautifully the turbulence that sometimes exists beneath a surface
of
serenity.________________________________________________________________________Praise
