About Author

Richard Russo

Richard Russo (born July 15, 1949) is an American novelist, short story writer, screenwriter, and teacher. In 2002, he was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in Fiction for his novel Empire Falls. Several of his works have been adapted into television series and movies. He is known for his realistic depictions of rural, small-town life in the Northeastern United States, particularly in Maine, Pennsylvania, and Russo's native Upstate New York.

First sentence

THE EMPIRE GRILL was long and low-slung, with windows that ran its entire length, and since the building next door, a Rexall drugstore, had been condemned and razed, it was now possible to sit at the lunch counter and see straight down Empire Avenue all the way to the old textile mill and its adjacent shirt factory...

Description

«Si realmente fuera tan infeliz, ¿no me daría cuenta?», se pregunta Miles Roby tras ser abandonado por su mujer a causa de la insatisfacción sexual. Russo revela cómo un hombre inteligente de cuarenta años es incapaz de reconocer su propia desesperación, y cómo resulta inverosímil el mejoramiento de una vida que se desarrolla en Empire Falls, un pueblo industrial en decadencia.
