Empire Falls

"[A] rich, humorous, elegantly constructed novel rooted in the bedrock tradition of American fiction. Needless to say, this is easily Mr. Russo's most seductive book thus far....It's about the price of reconciling dreams with disappointment, and the many unexpected ways of finding salvation....This book works like a prism, regarding the same people and events from different perspectives until they are finally, deeply understood."Russo, Richard is the author of 'Empire Falls ', published 2002 under ISBN 9780375726408 and ISBN 0375726403.
