RICHARD RUSSO is the author of seven previous novels; two collections of stories; and Elsewhere, a memoir. In 2002 he received the Pulitzer Prize for Empire Falls, which like Nobody’s Fool was adapted to film, in a multiple-award-winning HBO miniseries.
With Empire Falls Richard Russo cements his reputation as one of America’s most compelling and compassionate storytellers.
Miles Roby has been slinging burgers at the Empire Grill for 20 years, a job that cost him his college education and much of his self-respect. What keeps him there? It could be his bright, sensitive daughter Tick, who needs all his help surviving the local high school. Or maybe it’s Janine, Miles’ soon-to-be ex-wife, who’s taken up with a noxiously vain health-club proprietor. Or perhaps it’s the imperious Francine Whiting, who owns everything in town–and seems to believe that “everything” includes Miles himself. In Empire Falls Richard Russo delves deep into the blue-collar heart of America in a work that overflows with hilarity, heartache, and grace.

人往高處走,高處須勝寒 作者:吳澧 2011-12-01 10:11:10 從閉塞的內地市鎮走嚮文化中心,這是全世界年青人的普遍願望。甚至美國都是如此。美國作傢理查德·拉索2001年曾齣版小說《帝水流年》(Empire Fall...
評分 評分近來花瞭一星期看完這本書覺得值得推薦,是本誠意之作.作者的現實主義寫作功底讓人贊嘆.書中的人物經過作者入木三分的描寫後讓你感覺她他就曾經齣現過在我們的生活中,甚至覺得自己就是其中的某個人
評分要是我是一個老頭兒評論傢,我就會喝口茶水,用茶杯蓋颳擦漂浮的茶葉,喀嚓,喀嚓,清個嗓兒,啊,啊吭!同誌們,這本作品的優點,就在於做到瞭“三實”,情節紮實,細節充實,感受真實。可惜你們這幾天已經發現瞭,我隻是一個比較粗俗無知的東北人。我們東北人除瞭26...
評分藉的書,這些天不太忙,又無處可去,就從圖書館藉瞭一批書kill time。 沒有從引子看起,直接從第一部第一章開始,why?不知道,也許覺得引子無關緊要? 事實證明這樣也不錯。 讀瞭幾頁就讀進去瞭,說實話,這幾年能讓我看得津津有味的大部頭小說不多瞭,偵探小說除外。 讀到一...

很喜歡
評分A very American novel, with old-fashioned, self contained story telling.
評分這是我讀這個作者的第三本,喜歡每一本。又是一群普通人的故事,在普通的小鎮。看似什麼都沒有發生,就是一天天過日子,但是暗湧瞭很多人性:友誼,婚姻,父女關係,母女關係,青少年男女關係,青少年自己本身的關係,金錢,威脅,善良,懦弱,不忠。作者寫盡瞭人生。所寫的日常生活雖然跟我現在所處的不完全一樣,但是我卻覺得跟每個人都有一些關聯,所以一邊是很想一口氣看完這本書,一邊是忍不住把書本放下來,捨不得看完。朗讀者太棒瞭,演繹得惟妙惟肖,沒有他的功勞,看完這將近500頁的書還不知道要等到什麼時候呢。
評分很喜歡
評分A great modernist work. It contains all aspects of life, religon, marriage, parenthood, the rise and fall of a town. humerous ,philosopical
