Richard Russo is a Pulitzer Prize-winning American novelist and screenwriter whose fiction chronicles the lives of ordinary people in small-town America with extraordinary warmth, humour and insight. His novels are set in the declining industrial towns of the American Northeast, populated by richly drawn characters struggling with... family, work, identity and the places they call home. Russo won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2002 and has been a consistently acclaimed literary voice for decades. His books and audiobooks offer readers and listeners some of the finest American literary fiction, combining sharp social observation with deep compassion for his characters. Read more Show less
