Description
Richard Russo's novel takes place in a decaying American town over the course of a busy weekend, ten years after the events of 'Nobody's Fool'. A complex web of relationships and obsessions unfolds as Donald 'Sully' Sullivan tries to come to terms with his own mortality. Meanwhile, Ruth struggles to balance her life, torn between her long-time lover and her husband, while Police chief Doug Raymer searches for answers about a mysterious woman who may have been on the verge of leaving him. As the story builds towards a funeral, an escaped cobra, and other unexpected events, Russo masterfully weaves together a narrative that is both humorous and poignant. With its cast of well-developed characters and intricate plot, this novel is a pure pleasure to read. With its unique blend of humor, pathos, and intrigue, 'Everybody's Fool' is a compelling read for anyone who enjoys character-driven fiction.
