Wrapping up reading “Life and Art,” a collection of a dozen essays by novelist Richard Russo. I picked this book up after reading his early essay collection “The Destiny Thief.” I wasn’t disappointed. Russo’s “Bridge of Sighs” remains one of my favorite books . #BlueBrewBooks #Books #RichardRusso

Perfect novel sentence - 'He and Paula had been married for 30 years, thanks in large part to a mutual willingness to let an arched eyebrow do the heavy lifting of a soliloquy." #richardrusso in Trajectory. #writingcommunity #amwriting #perfectsentence #writing #greatbooks Got to 😍

Quel gâchis.
Sous couvert d’un hommage aux films noirs des années 40-50, l’écriture terne ne reflète en rien l’ADN d’un cinéma resplendissant dans ses envolées.

That wonderful feeling when you enjoy an author and realize he has so many more titles to be enjoyed. Why did I wait so long to read Richard Russo?

Books that have stayed with and influenced me! Book 33: Read many of Russo’s books, but this was terrific, maybe my favorite. I love stories set in academia about the inner-lives of teachers and this made me laugh so much I cried…

#patronsaint. When I was feeling dejected 'cause not everyone gets my sense of humor, #RICHARDRUSSO wrote in his green pen on my ms "so damn funny." Made my world tilt on its axis! Flowers & butterlies & puppies. I love him, his work, his teaching, his whole vibe. His writerly memoir is THE BEST.

Cover of the hardcover edition of Richard Russo's novel, Somebody's Fool

Current fiction read.

No other writer helps me understand the pathos and absurdity of living in a small town better than Richard Russo.

If there's a better depiction of small town life than "Nobody's Fool" (the movie) it's "Nobody's Fool" (the book). #RichardRusso
