Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Reading a collection of Richard Russo stories is a bit like watching a home-run hitter try to lay down a squeeze bunt…A charming performance.” —New York Times
“Russo again proves himself the master of real-life angst with the comic twist. His characters are sometimes funny, often sad, but never pathetic.” —Orlando Sentinal
“Russo’s rueful understanding of the twisted skein of human relationships is as sharp as ever, and the dialogue throughout is barbed, pointed and wryly humorous.” —Publishers Weekly
“All of the stories are told with great authority and near flawless technique.” —Booklist
“Russo, like Flannery O’Connor, has a gift for conveying the absurdity and severity of everyday life with brutal honesty, humor, and compassion —Amazon.com, editorial review
