- Popis:
- Richard Russo returns to North Bath-"a town where dishonesty abounds, everyone misapprehends everyone else and half the citizens are half-crazy" (The New York Times)-and the characters who made Nobody´s Fool a beloved choice of book clubs everywhere. Everybody´s Fool is classic Russo, filled with humor, heart, hard times, and people you can´t help but love, possibly because their various faults make them so human. Everybody´s Fool picks up roughly a decade since we were last with Miss Beryl and Sully on New Year`s Eve 1984. The irresistible Sully, who in the intervening years has come by some unexpected good fortune, is staring down a VA cardiologist´s estimate that he has only a year or two left, and it´s hard work trying to keep this news from the most important people in his life: Ruth, the married woman he carried on with for years . . . the ultra-hapless Rub Squeers, who worries that he and Sully aren´t still best friends . . . Sully´s son and grandson, for whom he was mostly an absentee figure (and now a regretful one). We also enjoy the company of Doug Raymer, the chief of police who´s obsessing primarily over the identity of the man his wife might´ve been about to run off with, before dying in a freak accident . . . Bath´s mayor, the former academic Gus Moynihan, whose wife problems are, if anything, even more pressing . . . and then there´s Carl Roebuck, whose lifelong run of failing upward might now come to ruin. And finally, there´s Charice Bond-a light at the end of the tunnel that is Chief Raymer´s office-as well as her brother, Jerome, who might well be the train barreling into the station.
