Richard Russo is the author of eight novels, two collections of stories, and On Helwig Street, a memoir. In 2002 he received the Pulitzer Prize for Empire Falls, which like Nobody's Fool was adapted to film, in a multiple-award-winning HBO miniseries. He lives in Maine.
Nobody's Fool is big, funny and richly human, a garrulous book that
buttonholes you in the first few pages and does not let you go...
In Sully, Russo has created a character you cannot resist.
*Financial Times*
Like Anne Tyler, Russo is interested in how people rub along; in
kindness and responsibility; in cutting slack without being
asked...Russo makes an enormous job of story-telling look
effortless. He is, in all the best senses of the word, a
natural.
*Sunday Times*
A rude, comic, harsh, galloping story of four generations of
small-town losers, the best literary portrait of the backwater burg
since Main Street.
*Annie Proulx*
Russo lifts a generous slice of middle America in all its
flavours... Nobody's Fool is a great-hearted, unforgettable comedy
in the best tradition of John Irving and Anne Tyler.
*Vogue*
This is a novel of charm and wit, akin to the works of Alice
Hoffman, Anne Tyler and Garrison Keillor.
*Time Out*
