Summary
Mr. Willy & Arthur is a novella about an imagined meeting between Boo Radley and Willy Loman.

I took the liberty of giving Boo the gumption to escape Maycomb, and of extending Willy's life five days.

Boo becomes an itinerant field hand. His new life takes him in and out of functioning families, and he finds this satisfying. Willy finds himself with $500 in severance pay, and decides to return to Florida, where he had been on vacation recently.

North of Raleigh one rainy night the two meet. This is the story of their few days together.
