A Conversation with Richard Russo: Live at the Capital Center for the Arts

This event is Thursday, May 26th at 7:00pm at the Capital Center for the Arts. Check back for the radio version which will air at a later date on Word of Mouth. 

Richard Russo won a Pulitzer Prize for his novel Empire Falls, but many people know him best as author of Nobody's Fool, which was adapted into a movie with Paul Newman playing Donald "Sully" Sullivan, who spends much of his time in a dive bar in the fading factory town of North Bath, NY.

Russo's new novel, Everybody's Fool, returns to that Adirondack town and its hapless characters; small town folks that you cannot help but love.
