Joe's Neighbours - Joe, Mendelson

As New: Outsider artist Mendelson Joe is a painter, activist, musician and renowned "self-taughter." But to the people living in the sparsely populated region west of Algonquin Park, he is also a neighbour. In this book, we get a glimpse into the lives of people who have strayed from the urban grid, and in Joe we meet a 'pathological painter" who is engaged with his community. Viewed through Joe's idiosyncratic lens, rural Canadian life comes alive, and we meet a hub of artists, activists, and offbeat characters who truly embody Joe's vision of neighbourliness.
