Funny, surprising, and thoroughly honest, Michael Winter's fictional memoir about the famed American artist Rockwell Kent. In 1914, artist Rockwell Kent relocates from New York City to Brigus, Newfoundland, seeking a simpler existence and artistic inspiration. His unconventional lifestyle, socialist views, and complicated personal relationships create friction within the conservative community. Set against the backdrop of the First World War, suspicions arise about this mysterious outsider's true intentions. Winter crafts an exploratory work examining an artist whose revolutionary ideas and behavior were misunderstood by his contemporaries. source
