Description
Richard Russo's slyly funny and moving novel follows the unexpected operation of grace in a deadbeat town in upstate New York - and in the life of one of its unluckiest citizens, Sully, who has been doing the wrong thing triumphantly for fifty years.
Divorced from his own wife and carrying on halfheartedly with another man's, saddled with a bum knee and friends who make enemies redundant, Sully now has a new problem to cope with: a long-estranged son who is in imminent danger of following in his father's footsteps. With its sly and uproarious humour and a heart that embraces humanity's follies as well as its triumphs, Nobody's Fool is storytelling at its most generous.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Nobody's Fool by Richard Russo is praised for its humour, rich character development, and engaging storytelling. The novel is compared to the works of Anne Tyler and John Irving, highlighting Russo's effortless narrative style and his ability to create unforgettable characters, particularly Sully. It's described as a compassionate portrayal of small-town life, with a blend of comedy and realism.
