Nemesis by Kat Ross
Following the best-selling Everybody's Fool, a new collection of short fiction that demonstrates that Richard Russo--winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Empire Falls--is also a master of this genre. Russo's characters in these four expansive stories bear little similarity to the blue-collar citizens we're familiar with from many of his novels. In Horseman, a professor confronts a young plagiarist as well as her own weaknesses as the Thanksgiving holiday looms closer and closer: And after that, who knew? In Intervention, a realtor facing an ominous medical prognosis finds himself in his father's shadow while he presses forward--or not. In Voice, a semiretired academic is conned by his increasingly estranged brother into coming along on a group tour of the Venice Biennale, fleeing a mortifying incident with a traumatized student back in Massachusetts but encountering further complications in the maze of Venice. And in Milton and Marcus, a lapsed novelist struggles with his wife's illness and tries to rekindle his screenwriting career, only to be stymied by the pratfalls of that trade when he's called to an aging, iconic star's mountaintop retreat in Wyoming.Kat Ross grew up in New York City and worked in a variety of fields before pursuing journalism and creative writing. She now lives with her family--along with a beagle, a ginger cat, and six fish--far enough outside the city for skunks and deer to stroll through her backyard.
