Book review: Still foolin' -- RichardRusso revisits upstate New York in third novel, 'Somebody's Fool'
"Somebody's Fool" by Richard Russo Richard Russo is back with the third book in his"Fool" series, and while it feels climactic, the author hasn't formally said if it officially ends the trilogy he began in 1993 with"Nobody's Fool" and revisited more than two decades later in"Everybody's Fool" .
Luck, then, and why some people have it and others don't, endures as a favorite Russo theme. Peter wears the hero's cape in this novel, whose main events take place about a decade after Sully's death. He has inherited both his father's and mother's houses and is fixing up the former in the hopes of selling it for a big profit and leaving town. Fate, of course, has other plans.
But while Sully is missed as a physical presence in the book, he's never far from anyone's mind."Dead wasn't the same as gone," writes Russo. In fact, a search of the PDF provided by the publisher yields 260 uses of the name Sully in the 458-page novel. Peter, of course, is always thinking about his father, and everyone else is always thinking about the similarities between Peter and his father, or their own memories of Sully.
