Russo, Richard — Everybody's Fool
New York, Alfred A. Knopf, 2016. First Edition. Hardcover. Size: 8vo 8" - 9" tall. Stated First Edition, though surely a later printing thereof, with no number line present. Sturdy, attractive, tightly bound hardcover, clean, lightly sunned along edges, minimal rubbing to extremities. Bright and shiny dust jacket, illustrated, little worn, just a bit furled along edges, and a very short closed tear along front top edge. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize. From the publisher's blurb, "Everybody's Fool picks up roughly a decade since we were last with Miss Beryl and Sully on New Year's Eve 1984. The irresistible Sully, who in the intervening years has come by some unexpected good fortune, is staring down a VA cardiologist's estimate that he has only a year or two left, and it's hard work trying to keep this news from the most important people in his life: Ruth, the married woman he carried on with for years . . . the ultra-hapless Rub Squeers, who worries that he and Sully aren't still best friends . . . Sully's son and grandson, for whom he was mostly an absentee figure (and now a regretful one)." 477 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .
