| Summary | "Michelangelo's Shoulder" by John Moncure Wetterau is a collection of interconnected stories written in the early 21st century. The book explores themes of love, loss, and artistic expression through the lives of various characters, predominantly set against the backdrop of nature and personal reflection. Wetterau's narrative style thoughtfully weaves together the complexities of human relationships and the nuances of artistic ambition, revealing how they intersect and shape individual destinies. The stories within the collection present a tapestry of characters, such as Don, an artist who grapples with his insecurities and relationships, particularly with Ruby and Lorna, while navigating the art world. The narrative unfolds through moments of introspection, encounters that illuminate personal struggles, and the pursuit of artistic recognition. Alongside Don's journey, characters like Charlie and Margery confront their pasts and the poignant weight of familial connections. Each segment resonates with a sense of searching—be it for love, understanding, or fulfillment—capturing the fleeting nature of human experience and the underlying desire to create meaning through art and connection.
