BOOKS - FICTION NEW IN PAPERBACK
Time to separate new and recent hardcover fiction from new and recent paperback fiction! So many paperback editions of novels and stories arrive every month that this may be considered a filtered selection of what is out there, what I have, what is fashionable these days to describe as “curated.” I have many more new fiction paperbacks than I can list, of course, but think of these as sampling. Enjoy!
Nobody's Fool [# 1 in the North Bath trilogy]
Nobody's Fool [# 1 in the North Bath trilogy]
From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Empire Falls, 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.
“Remarkable…. A revelation of the human heart.” —The Washington Post
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. Nobody’s Fool was made into a movie starring Paul Newman, Bruce Willis, Jessica Tandy, and Melody Griffith.
Look for Everybody’s Fool, available now, and Somebody’s Fool, coming soon.
