Omensetter's Luck by William H. Gass

Our last book will take us quite back in time to the 19th century in a small fictional town in Ohio. Heralded as an underappreciated work of literature, this postmodern novel looks like it deserves to be talked about more.
We'll meet Valletta's Coffee Circus (https://maps.app.goo.gl/xfUSvDjeMsSvAzBV9). Please choose going if intending to attend.
Goodreads description:
'Greeted as a masterpiece when it was first published in 1966, Omensetter's Luck is the quirky, impressionistic, and breathtakingly original story of an ordinary community galvanized by the presence of an extraordinary man. Set in a small Ohio town in the 1890s, it chronicles - through the voices of various participants and observers - the confrontation between Brackett Omensetter, a man of preternatural goodness, and the Reverend Jethro Furber, a preacher crazed with a propensity for violent thoughts. Omensetter's Luck meticulously brings to life a specific time and place as it illuminates timeless questions about life, love, good and evil.'
