{"product_id":"mohawk","title":"Mohawk","description":"From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls comes a wonderfully written novel about a small town in New York whose citizens have fallen on hard times.\n\n\"Immensely readable and sympathetic.... Mr. Russo has an instinctive gift for capturing the rhythms of small-town life.\" —The New York Times\n\nMohawk, New York, is one of those small towns that lie almost entirely on the wrong side of the tracks. Dallas Younger, a star athlete in high school, now drifts from tavern to poker game, losing money, and, inevitably, another set of false teeth. His ex-wife, Anne, is stuck in a losing battle with her mother over the care of her sick father. And their son, Randall, is deliberately neglecting his school work—because in a place like Mohawk it doesn't pay to be too smart.\n\nIn Mohawk, Russo explores these lives with profound compassion and flint-hard wit. Out of derailed ambitions and old loves, secret hatreds and communal myths, he has created a richly plotted, densely populated, and wonderfully written novel that captures every nuance of America's backyard.\n\nLook for Richard Russo's new book, Somebody's Fool, coming soon.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0679753826\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 31UMYP001OP1_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Russo, Richard\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
