RICHARD RUSSO is the author of seven previous novels; two collections of stories; and Elsewhere, 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.
With Empire Falls Richard Russo cements his reputation as one of America’s most compelling and compassionate storytellers.
Miles Roby has been slinging burgers at the Empire Grill for 20 years, a job that cost him his college education and much of his self-respect. What keeps him there? It could be his bright, sensitive daughter Tick, who needs all his help surviving the local high school. Or maybe it’s Janine, Miles’ soon-to-be ex-wife, who’s taken up with a noxiously vain health-club proprietor. Or perhaps it’s the imperious Francine Whiting, who owns everything in town–and seems to believe that “everything” includes Miles himself. In Empire Falls Richard Russo delves deep into the blue-collar heart of America in a work that overflows with hilarity, heartache, and grace.

评分 评分借的书,这些天不太忙,又无处可去,就从图书馆借了一批书kill time。 没有从引子看起,直接从第一部第一章开始,why?不知道,也许觉得引子无关紧要? 事实证明这样也不错。 读了几页就读进去了,说实话,这几年能让我看得津津有味的大部头小说不多了,侦探小说除外。 读到一...
A very American novel, with old-fashioned, self contained story telling.
