{"product_id":"the-risk-pool","title":"The Risk Pool","description":"From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls comes a wonderfully funny novel set in Mohawk, New York, where Ned Hall is doing his best to grow up, even though neither of his estranged parents can properly be called adult.\n\n\"Superbly original and maliciously funny.\" —The New York Times Book Review\n\nHis father, Sam, cultivates bad habits so assiduously that he is stuck at the bottom of his auto insurance risk pool. His mother, Jenny, is slowly going crazy from resentment at a husband who refuses either to stay or to stay away. As Ned veers between allegiances to these grossly inadequate role models, Richard Russo gives us a book that overflows with outsized characters and outlandish predicaments and whose vision of family is at once irreverent and unexpectedly moving.\n\nLook for Richard Russo's new book, Somebody's Fool, coming soon.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0679753834\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 31UMYP000TFX_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.
