Nobody's Fool

Richard Russo's slyly funny and moving novel follows the unexpected operation of grace in a deadbeat town in upstate New York—and in the life of one of its unluckiest citizens, Sully, who has been doing the wrong thing triumphantly for fifty years.

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 sly and uproarious humor and a heart that embraces humanity's follies as well as its triumphs, Nobody's Fool is storytelling at its most generous.

Romanul smecher si amuzant al lui Richard Russo urmareste operatia neasteptata a harului intr-un oras mort din nordul statului New York - si in viata unuia dintre cei mai neplacuti cetateni ai sai, Sully, care face lucrurile gresite triumfator de cincizeci de ani. proprie sotie si care continua cu toata inima cu altii unui barbat, infasurat cu un genunchi vagabond si prieteni care fac inamici redundanti, Sully are acum o noua problema cu care sa faca fata: un fiu indepartat de mult, care este in pericol iminent sa urmeze urmele tatalui sau.
