About
Everett Lowry.
Literary fiction · Coastal Maine
Everett Lowry writes literary fiction about the small towns of coastal Maine, and about the particular arithmetic of staying. Sons who take over a father’s boat. Widows who keep a Tuesday appointment for forty years past any obvious reason to. The people who inherit not just a house or a business but the specific silence that came with it, and spend a lifetime deciding what to do about that inheritance.
His novels move between a formative past and the ordinary present it never stopped shaping, following families who have gotten expert at not asking each other the one question that actually matters, until, eventually, someone does.
