Amazon.com description: Product Description:
In what many perceive as a coldly relentless digital age, Pulitzer-prize winning author Richard Russo has teamed up with his daughter, artist Kate Russo, to present this tribute to the printed book. This handsome and inventive formatâfour individually bound volumes gathered in a slipcaseâcombines the previously unpublished novella âInterventionâ with three shorter works, two of which have not been published in book form.
The four tales in Interventions crackle with Russoâs perceptive wit and unwavering compassion for the human condition. In the title novella, self-obsessed realtor Ray must confront his own mortality and doesnât seem especially interested in winning the battle. A surprising revelation about his father and uncle, however, and his realization of an unlikely friendship lead him to believe he just might like to stick around. âHorsemanâ explores the complexities of a young professorâs marriage and academic life, and âThe Whoreâs Childâ negotiates the not-always-clear line between fact and fiction. The final piece, âHigh and Dry,â is Russoâs paean to the heyday of his hometown, Gloversville, New York.
Each of the four volumes is paired with a small, full-color print of a painting by Kate Russo. Printed in the United States on the finest sustainably harvested papers, the set is as much a joy to hold in the hand as it is to read.
