Overview
<b>From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of <i>Empire Falls, </i>this slyly funny, moving novel about a blue-collar town in upstate New York—and about Sully, one of its unluckiest citizens, who has been doing the wrong thing triumphantly for fifty years—is a classic American story.</b><br><br><b>"Remarkable.... A revelation of the human heart." —<i>The Washington Post</i><br></b><br>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, <i>Nobody's Fool,</i> from Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Richard Russo, is storytelling at its most generous. <i>Nobody’s Fool </i>was made into a movie starring Paul Newman, Bruce Willis, Jessica Tandy, and Melody Griffith.<br><br><b>Look for <i>Everybody’s Fool, </i>available now, and <i>Somebody’s Fool,</i> coming soon. </b>
