Piccolo Bob

Brian Padjen's sixteenth book, Piccolo Bob, is a satirical hymn to ensemble repair. Set in Boston, it follows Bob, Steve, and Barb as they reclaim connection and joy through off-key sabotage, ritual absurdity, and editorial mercy. With wit sharp enough to interrupt a broadcast and tenderness layered beneath the chaos, Padjen invites readers to laugh, flinch, and canonize every breach.

All inconsistencies are intentional.
