RICHARD RUSSO is the author of seven previous novels; two collections of stories; and Elsewhere, a memoir. In 2002 he received the Pulitzer Prize for Empire Falls, which like Nobody’s Fool was adapted to film, in a multiple-award-winning HBO miniseries.
With Empire Falls Richard Russo cements his reputation as one of America’s most compelling and compassionate storytellers.
Miles Roby has been slinging burgers at the Empire Grill for 20 years, a job that cost him his college education and much of his self-respect. What keeps him there? It could be his bright, sensitive daughter Tick, who needs all his help surviving the local high school. Or maybe it’s Janine, Miles’ soon-to-be ex-wife, who’s taken up with a noxiously vain health-club proprietor. Or perhaps it’s the imperious Francine Whiting, who owns everything in town–and seems to believe that “everything” includes Miles himself. In Empire Falls Richard Russo delves deep into the blue-collar heart of America in a work that overflows with hilarity, heartache, and grace.

评分这是我读这个作者的第三本,喜欢每一本。又是一群普通人的故事,在普通的小镇。看似什么都没有发生,就是一天天过日子,但是暗涌了很多人性:友谊,婚姻,父女关系,母女关系,青少年男女关系,青少年自己本身的关系,金钱,威胁,善良,懦弱,不忠。作者写尽了人生。所写的日常生活虽然跟我现在所处的不完全一样,但是我却觉得跟每个人都有一些关联,所以一边是很想一口气看完这本书,一边是忍不住把书本放下来,舍不得看完。朗读者太棒了,演绎得惟妙惟肖,没有他的功劳,看完这将近500页的书还不知道要等到什么时候呢。
评分人物多元有趣
评分A great modernist work. It contains all aspects of life, religon, marriage, parenthood, the rise and fall of a town. humerous ,philosopical
