Reviews
"Russo hits his trademark trifecta: satisfying, hilarious, and painlessly profound." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred), "Triumphant. . . Russo's reunion with these beloved characters is genius: silly slapstick and sardonic humor play out in a rambling, rambunctious story that poignantly emphasizes that particular brand of loyalty and acceptance that is synonymous with small-town living." --Carol Haggas, Booklist (starred) "Russo hits his trademark trifecta: satisfying, hilarious, and painlessly profound." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred), "Russo brings wit and warmth to this slapstick tale . . . Once again his characters are marvelous creatures, endearing in spite of themselves." -- People  "A delightful return . . . to a town where dishonesty abounds, everyone misapprehends everyone else and half the citizens are half-crazy. It's a great place for a reader to visit, and it seems to be Russo's spiritual home." --Janet Maslin, The New York Times "How could twenty-three years have slipped by since Nobody's Fool ? . . . Russo is probably the best writer of physical comedy that we have [but] even the zaniest elements of the story are interspersed with episodes of wincing cruelty. . . . The abiding wonder [is that] Russo's novel bears down on two calamitous days and exploits the action in every single minute . . . mudslides, grave robbery, collapsing buildings, poisonous snakes, drug deals, arson, lightning strikes and toxic goo. North Bath is a sleepy little town that never sleeps [and] no tangent ever feels tangential." --Ron Charles, The Washington Post "Everybody should read Everybody's Fool. Almost nobody in Richard Russo's novel is sure of anything, but I'm sure of that. . . . [He] has given readers all they should want." --Brian O'Neill, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "The Fool books represent an enormous achievement, creating a world as richly detailed as the one we step into each day of our lives. . . . Sully in particular emerges as one of the most credible and engaging heroes in recent American fiction. . . . Bath is real, Sully is real, and so is Hattie's and the White Horse Tavern and Miss Peoples's house on Main, and I can only hope we haven't seen the last of them. I'd love to see what Sully's going to be up to at 80." --T. Coraghessan Boyle, The New York Times Book Review "I was holding my breath for fear Everybody's Fool wouldn't live up to its predecessor, but I shouldn't have worried. As good as Russo was in 1993, he's even better now. And Everybody's Fool is a delight [with] enough bizarre events, startling revelations, unlikely heroes and touching moments to supply a dozen small towns . . . He is also a master of plotting, from cliffhangers to twists that deftly link apparently unrelated threads. This book's tone is largely comic, but Russo writes with uncommon insight about love, families and friendship." --Collette Bancroft, Tampa Bay Times "A madcap romp, weaving mystery, suspense and comedy in a race to the final pages." --Jennifer Maloney, The Wall Street Journal "Triumphant. . . Russo's reunion with these beloved characters is genius: silly slapstick and sardonic humor play out in a rambling, rambunctious story that poignantly emphasizes that particular brand of loyalty and acceptance that is synonymous with small-town living." --Carol Haggas, Booklist (starred) "Russo hits his trademark trifecta: satisfying, hilarious, and painlessly profound." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred)

Synopsis
A New York Times 2016 Notable Book An immediate national best seller and instant classic from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls . Richard Russo returns to North Bath--"a town where dishonesty abounds, everyone misapprehends everyone else and half the citizens are half-crazy" ( The New York Times )--and the characters who made Nobody's Fool a beloved choice of book clubs everywhere. Everybody's Fool is classic Russo, filled with humor, heart, hard times, and people you can't help but love, possibly because their various faults make them so human. Everybody's Fool picks up roughly a decade since we were last with Miss Beryl and Sully on New Year's Eve 1984. The irresistible Sully, who in the intervening years has come by some unexpected good fortune, is staring down a VA cardiologist's estimate that he has only a year or two left, and it's hard work trying to keep this news from the most important people in his life: Ruth, the married woman he carried on with for years . . . the ultra-hapless Rub Squeers, who worries that he and Sully aren't still best friends . . . Sully's son and grandson, for whom he was mostly an absentee figure (and now a regretful one). We also enjoy the company of Doug Raymer, the chief of police who's obsessing primarily over the identity of the man his wife might've been about to run off with, before dying in a freak accident . . . Bath's mayor, the former academic Gus Moynihan, whose wife problems are, if anything, even more pressing . . . and then there's Carl Roebuck, whose lifelong run of failing upward might now come to ruin. And finally, there's Charice Bond--a light at the end of the tunnel that is Chief Raymer's office--as well as her brother, Jerome, who might well be the train barreling into the station. A crowning achievement--"like hopping on the last empty barstool surrounded by old friends" ( Entertainment Weekly )--from one of the greatest storytellers of our time.

    Read, Live, Love, Laugh, Cry and Scream for more.

    Not just the sequel to Russo's "Nobody's Fool," but a stand alone tragic-comedic hilarity worthy of as many hints as his "Empire Falls" and "Nobody's Fool." Read it and you'll easily identify with every character this fabulous Author has molded with unerring precision.

    Second trip to Bath

    Catch up with the characters from Nobody's Fool. Another good read about everyday life in a small town. The focus has changed from Sully to the bumbling cop, now Chief of Police. See what has happened to the cast of characters, I bet you won't figure this one to turn out like it does. I don't want to give anymore away. Find out for yourself. I don't want to give anymore away, but I can't post this. I guess my review isn't long enough yet.
