Miles Roby has been slinging burgers at the Empire Grill for 20 years, a job that cost him his college education and much of his self-respect. What keeps him there? It could be his bright, sensitive daughter Tick, who needs all his help surviving the local high school. Or maybe it's Janine, Miles' soon-to-be ex-wife, who's taken up with a noxiously vain health-club proprietor. Or perhaps it's the imperious Francine Whiting, who owns everything in town and seems to believe that everything includes Miles himself. In Empire Falls Richard Russo delves deep into the blue-collar heart of America in a work that overflows with hilarity, heartache, and grace.
Richard Russo ha escrito las novelas Mohawk, Alto riesgo, y Ni un pelo de tonto, la cual ha sido llevada al cine y protagonizada por Paul Newman. Sus últimas novelas son Straight Man y Empire Falls con la que ha ganado el Premio Pulitzer 2002.
