I'm so far behind, I'm not going to write as much as I might have, but what can I say? It's Richard Russo, who I love so much. It's very interesting to see the trajectory of his stories as he ages. This one is the first one with 2 points of view, and it's fascinating. It took a good while into the book to see how it all fit together, but once again we have the themes of aging, regret, and being a man in today's world. I can't tell you why I relate so much to his protagonists, all middle-aged or older men, but I do.
Highly recommend any book Russo has written. Straight Man is an excellent place to start, as is Nobody's Fool (made into a film w/Paul Newman).
