Fiction
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.
