Interview: Richard Russo https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/20/books/review/richard-russo-interview.html

'When you become a writer, you inevitably lose your innocence as a reader. You never again dream quite so deeply. Part of you is always awake and on the lookout for what you can use later, the neat trick, the clever structural device. It’s like being given the underground tour of Disney World. Some of the magic dissipates.'

An evocative & garbled account, in the best possible way, of marriage, of parents & children & the places infused with their emotions & misaligned hopes. Of youthful plans bastardised by time & imperfect love. Russo's inimitable voice carries you along into the tangle of family lives, trapped by the tendrils of happiness & sadness & fractured memory.
