Catbirds - Paperback

by Ezra Palmer (Author)

It's the height of the pandemic when Randy Green learns that his brother Adam has been found dead in a deserted New England marina, three thousand miles away. With little interest or help from the police or other family members, he sets out to piece together what really happened to his complicated, difficult brother-and why.

Unfolding in bursts of incantatory prose as Randy struggles to compose a suitable eulogy for his brother at the last possible moment, Catbirds is a mystery, a meditation on grief and healing, and a portrait of a riven family in a riven land.
