Lovin' Richard Russo's Books


I met the Author Richard Russo recently at Northshire Bookstore in Manchester, Vermont. He signed his new book, "Bridge of Sighs" for me.

I am enjoying his book tremendously.

If you haven't read Russo yet, start with a movie called "Nobody's Fool" starring Paul Newman, Jessica Tandy, Bruce Willis and Melanie Griffith.
This movie and the corresponding novel by Russo will introduce you to the type of "UPSTATE NEW YORK" writing that Russo crafts eloquently.

HIS BOOKS ARE TO BE SAVORED.

Hear here & here Russo discuss his book with Joe Donahue and Julia Taylor of WAMC radio in Albany.
