Nobody's Fool by Richard Russo
A much-needed new edition of Richard Russo's warm-hearted tale of a down-at-heel loser who gets a chance to change his luck.
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 *
