Empire Falls
Premio Pulitzer 2002
by Richard Russo
Review this book!
In Richard Russo's lengthy fifth novel--this one set in a small Maine town--the Empire Grill provides the focus for the town's inhabitants, who include Miles Roby, who manages the place; Francine Whiting, the wealthy woman who owns it; Jimmy the cop; and Miles's large, eccentric, and often comic extended family. Many plots intertwine as the townsfolk are revealed in all their odd vulnerability, and Miles surveys them all from behind the counter of the grill. A New York Times Notable Book for 2001.

Media Reviews
"[A] rich, humorous, elegantly constructed novel rooted in the bedrock tradition of American fiction. Needless to say, this is easily Mr. Russo's most seductive book thus far....It's about the price of reconciling dreams with disappointment, and the many unexpected ways of finding salvation....This book works like a prism, regarding the same people and events from different perspectives until they are finally, deeply understood."
