Words Alone Are Certain Good is a haunting and redemptive literary novel set in post-Katrina New Orleans. Ernest Larsen, a 29-year-old vacuum salesman burdened by the weight of his troubled family and unresolved grief, finds himself at a breaking point. Alongside his younger brother Kirby, who has Down syndrome and a heart full of wonder, Ernest navigates a city flooded not just by water, but by memory, guilt, and longing.
As they encounter looters, lost children, jazz-playing angels, and ghosts of the past, Ernest confronts the pain of a violent legacy, the weight of his own mistakes, and the flickering hope of forgiveness. Told with raw humor, lyrical depth, and aching humanity, this is a story about brothers, broken mothers, and the beauty that can survive disaster.
