I love Richard Russo's novels. I thought it might be nice to delve into HIS life for a different viewpoint and exploration into the life of an author. He has really done a fine job of writing about himself without seeming like he's writing about himself. Now I understand how he so easily develops his novel characters. This book is a joy to read: enlightening, entertaining, bittersweet and full of family issues that are dealt with realistically and not without guilt. Definitely recommend this book -- it's a quick read and hard to put down.
