Nobody's Fool

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.
