Description

Richard Russo's memoir, Elsewhere, is an intimate and powerful account of his lifelong bond with his mother. Born in Gloversville, a town once famous for producing dress gloves, the author recounts how his mother instilled in him her dream of a better life elsewhere.

Their adventures on a road trip across the country when Russo went to college were just the beginning of their story. As he grew older, his mother continued to try and change her life, with devastating consequences for both herself and those around her. This memoir is a stirring tribute to the tenacious grip of the past.

With clear-eyed regret, nostalgia, and love, Russo recounts his complicated relationship with his mother in Elsewhere. A poignant exploration of family, identity, and the power of memory, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in stories about the human experience.
