Historical
With Empire Falls Richard Russo cements his
reputation as one of America’s most compelling and
compassionate storytellers.
Miles Roby has been
slinging burgers at the Empire Grill for 20 years, a job
that cost him his college education and much of his
self-respect. What keeps him there? It could be his bright,
sensitive daughter Tick, who needs all his help surviving
the local high school. Or maybe it’s Janine, Miles’
soon-to-be ex-wife, who’s taken up with a noxiously vain
health-club proprietor. Or perhaps it’s the imperious
Francine Whiting, who owns everything in town–and seems to
believe that “everything” includes Miles himself. In
Empire Falls Richard Russo delves deep into
the blue-collar heart of America in a work that overflows
with hilarity, heartache, and grace.
