Publisher Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Empire Falls returns to North Bath, the Rust Belt town first brought to unforgettable life in Nobody’s Fool. • "Irresistible.... Very funny.... A joy." —The New York Times
Now, ten years later, Doug Raymer has become the chief of police and is tormented by the improbable death of his wife—not to mention his suspicion that he was a failure of a husband. Meanwhile, the irrepressible Sully has come into a small fortune, but is suddenly faced with a VA cardiologist’s estimate that he only has a year or two left to live.
As Sully frantically works to keep the bad news from the important people in his life, we are reunited with his son and grandson . . . with Ruth, the married woman with whom he carried on for years . . . and with the hapless Rub Squeers, who worries that he and Sully aren’t still best friends. Filled with humor, heart, and hard-luck characters you can’t help but love, Everybody’s Fool is a crowning achievement from one of the great storytellers of our time.
Look for Nobody's Fool, available now, and Somebody’s Fool, coming soon.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
With Nobody's Fool, Pulitzer Prize winner Richard Russo introduced us to the residents of North Bath, who can't seem to shake their second-best status to neighboring Schuyler Springs. In Everybody’s Fool, we’re drawn into the stories of the upstate New York town’s increasingly unhinged police chief, Douglas Raymer, and Donald "Sully" Sullivan, a man facing a diagnosis that gives him two years to live. Both men are embroiled in at least one love triangle, pushing Russo’s novel toward hilarious madness—think runaway cobras, graveyard vandalism, and lightning strikes. This is the kind of comic novel that makes you want to pop a bowl of popcorn and spend the day reading.
