Everybody's Fool

by Richard Russo

Book Overview

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls returns to North Bath, the Rust Belt town first brought to unforgettable life in Nobody's Fool. - "Irresistible.... Very funny.... A joy." --The New York Times

Now, ten years later, Doug Raymer has become the chief of police and is tormented by the improbable death of his wife--not to mention his suspicion that he was a failure of a husband. Meanwhile, the irrepressible Sully has come into a small fortune, but is suddenly faced with a VA cardiologist's estimate that he only has a year or two left to live.

As Sully frantically works to keep the bad news from the important people in his life, we are reunited with his son and grandson . . . with Ruth, the married woman with whom he carried on for years . . . and with the hapless Rub Squeers, who worries that he and Sully aren't still best friends. Filled with humor, heart, and hard-luck characters you can't help but love, Everybody's Fool is a crowning achievement from one of the great storytellers of our time.

Look for Nobody's Fool, available now, and Somebody's Fool, coming soon.
