RICHARD RUSSO

I WAS AFRAID SOMEONE WOULD KNOCK ON MY FRONT DOOR TO SEE IF I WAS OKAY.  I STARTED TO LAUGH HYSTERICALLY WHEN I WAS READING RUSSO'S DESCRIPTION OF A DRIVERS ED CLASS INCIDENT IN HIS NOVEL EMPIRE FALLS.  I STARTED TO HOWL WITH LAUGHTER.  IT WAS INCREDIBLY FUNNY.

I'VE HAD AN ALL RUSSO SUMMER WITH THAT OLD CAPE MAGIC, BRIDGE OF SIGHS AND EMPIRE FALLS INTERSPERSED WITHA LITTLE JONATHAN FRANZEN'S FREEDOM.

MARTHA'S VINEYARD IS IN THIS MAINE NOVEL BY RUSSO.
