Hardcover. NY, Alfred A. Knopf, 1st, 2023, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket. SIGNED BY RUSSO on the title page. The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls returns to North Bath, in upstate New York, and to the characters that captured the hearts and imaginations of millions of readers in his beloved best sellers Nobody's Fool and Everybody's Fool. Russo, who won the Pulitzer Prize for literature for "Empire Falls", has added this third novel to his stories about life in Bath, New York. It's been about 30 years first novel, "Nobodys fool" that turned into a movie starring Paul Newman and Jessica Tandy (in her final performance) and so a number of the characters are now dead, but their presence echoes through the minds of their children and friends who are now the central characters in "Everybody's Fool." Russo masterfully tells a story about a single weekend in a town that has been consumed by its bigger and more robust town to the north effectively erasing it from maps. His characters are fully developed and by the time we finish the book we know them all well. And we like most of them and even relate to some of them. Clean, bright copy.

David Small, a best-selling and highly regarded children's book illustrator, comes forward with this unflinching graphic memoir. Remarkable and intensely dramatic, Stitches tells the story of a fourteen-year-old boy who awakes one day from a supposedly harmless operation to discover that he has been transformed into a virtual mute-a vocal cord removed, his throat slashed and stitched together like a bloody boot. From horror to hope, Small proceeds to graphically portray an almost unbelievable descent into adolescent hell and the difficult road to physical, emotional, and artistic recovery.
