“Part of aging, at least for many of us, was to see how misshapen and imperfect our stories had to be.” Librarian Bob Comet’s life has been misshapen by a singular tragedy: his wife Connie leaves him for his best friend, Ethan. Tracing the extraordinary story of an ordinary life, deWitt visits Bob in his retirement and back to a segment of his boyhood when he runs away from home. Heartwarming without eye-rolling manipulations is difficult but DeWitt delivers. An unsplashy marvel that celebrates the quotidian and highlights the many joys and scars tucked into the arc of a life.
