I wasn't sure about <i>Empire Falls</i> when I came across it months ago, and I do think <i>That Old Cape Magic</i> is more my speed. Sounds compelling. Great review!

I think that most 24-year-olds probably wouldn't because he writes about mid-life crises a lot, but I don't care. I love love love him anyway. I love how he writes about those times when life just seems like it needs to be shaken up a bit. Straight Man is pretty good. I think I only need to read a couple more to get through his backlist.

I read Cape Magic last year, but the story made such an impact. I liked it better than Empire Falls. Have you read "Straight Man" by Russo? That's my all-time favorite book. Excellent book and it's funny. Great review. I read Cape Magic last year, but the story made such an impact. I liked it better than Empire Falls.

I should remedy that! Thanks for the review, and for reminding me of how great Richard Russo is. I read Empire Falls years ago and really enjoyed it, but haven’t given Russo a second thought since.
