This slyly funny moving novel about a blue-collar town in upstate New York-and in the life of Sully of one of its unluckiest citizens who has been doing the wrong thing triumphantly for fifty years-is a classic American story.
Divorced from his own wife and carrying on halfheartedly with another man's saddled with a bum knee and friends who make enemies redundant Sully now has one new problem to cope with: a long-estranged son who is in imminent danger of following in his father's footsteps. With its uproarious humor and a heart that embraces humanity's follies as well as its triumphs Nobody's Fool from Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Russo is storytelling at its most generous.
Nobody's Fool was made into a movie starring Paul Newman Bruce Willis Jessica Tandy and Melody Griffith.
