"Richard Paul Russo - Nobodys Fool" - читать интересную книгу автора (Russo Richard Paul)

Friel, Time Out "Nobody's Fool is big, funny and richly human, a
garrulous book that button holes you in the first few pages and does
not let you go until it has had its say. The town of North Bath is a
wonderful creation, the sort of place where Texan investors choose not
to build a theme park because, well, the people there look sort of
funny. It is a place of beautiful old houses occupied by widows who
refuse to die simply for the sake of a property boom; of doomed civic
boosters who will run off with S&L funds at a drop of a hat; of
middle-aged lotharios and their fading cheerleader mistresses. Like
Garrison Keillor, Russo is able to show small-town life warts and
all."

Stephen Amidon, Financial Times "The world Russo creates is endearing
and amusing, and his characters are loveable even when at their most
loathsome.

Nobody's Fool is a Norman Rockwell portrait of small-town America, full
of chirpy local colour and lots of cheery jokes... One comes away
convinced there is more life and less cynicism in the dead town of
North Bath than just about anywhere else on the planet... except, quite
possibly, for the bar in the television series. Cheers... The 50
million or so Americans and untold numbers of Britons who wept over the
last episode of that much-loved sitcom will be delighted by Nobody's
Fool; Russo's novel will warm the sentimental cockles even if it gets
on the cynic's last nerve. Claire Messud, Guardian Richard Russo
