Richard Russo has 20 past events. (show)  Jennifer Haigh, News from Heaven “ Jennifer Haigh’s stories rove across time and cultures as easily as they render the tendernesses and longings and hardscrabble deprivations of home. News from Heaven is well-named, given that its unsentimental compassion and observational acuity. . . is just what we need right now.” Jim Shepard, author of Like you'd understand, anyway “The characters in Jennifer Haigh’s News from Heaven are so vividly drawn, the inner lives revealed so deftly, with such intelligence and sympathy, that fictional Bakerton, Pennsylvania, takes on the additional weight of, say, Winesburg, Ohio.” Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Empire Falls Jennifer Haigh is the author of four critically acclaimed novels, Faith; The Condition; Baker Towers, winner of the L.L. Winship/PEN New England Award for Fiction, and Mrs. Kimble, for which she won the PEN/Hemingway Award. Her short fiction has been published widely, including in The Atlantic, Granta, The Best American Short Stories 2012, and other publications. She lives in the Boston area.

We meet every fourth Thursday of the month in the Barnes & Noble Cafe. For our meeting in January we will be reading Empire Falls by Richard Russo. We hope to see you there! (added from Barnes & Noble) Richard & Kate Russo (Burlington) Richard Russo - the Pulitzer-prize winning author of Empire Falls - and his daughter Kate Russo will speak about their new book, Interventions, at Phoenix Books Burlington on Saturday, June 23rd at 7:00 pm. Richard Russo has been an unabashed supporter of independent bookstores and recently spoke at BookExpo America on “Why Indies Matter,” which is also the name of the American Booksellers Association's newly launched video campaign that captures unscripted testimonials about independent bookstores from authors, customers, and indie supporters around the country. "I don't want independent bookstores to survive," Russo said in an interview with Publishers Weekly's Judith Rosen. "I want them to thrive."
In what many perceive as a coldly relentless digital age, Richard Russo has teamed up with Kate Russo to create Interventions, their tribute to the printed book. What makes the book truly special is the unusual format: Each story is an individually soft-bound volume with a cover illustration by Kate. Framable prints of her paintings accompany each book and all are collected into a slipcase. Conceived by Kate's husband, designer Tom Butler, the format is an integral part of Interventions. The Russos' intention is for the reader to experience the work in the tangible, tactile way only a printed book can provide.
Richard Russo is the author of several novels, a collection of short stories, and several produced screenplays. His novel Empire Falls won the 2002 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. He lives in coastal Maine and Boston. Kate Russo was born in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in 1982. She moved to Maine with her family at the age of nine. She has a B.A. from Colby College and an M.F.A. from the Slade School of Fine Art in London, England. She currently lives in Rockland, Maine, with her husband, Tom. She has exhibited all over England and recently at Susan Maasch Fine Art in Portland, Maine. Phoenix Books Burlington is located at 191 Bank Street in Downtown Burlington. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, please call 802-448-3350 or visit

Now, Russo has teamed up with his daughter, artist Kate Russo, to create Interventions, a triumphantly analog tribute to the printed book. In a unique format of four volumes in a slipcase (printed in the United States on the finest sustainably harvested papers), Interventions combines the previously unpublished novella “Intervention” with three shorter works, two of which have not been published in book form. Each volume is paired with a small color print of a painting by Kate Russo. Richard and Kate will discuss their collaboration and the surrounding issues, and will be introduced by Richard's daughter and Kate's sister Emily Russo, a bookseller at Greenlight.

Following Bridge of Sighs—a national best seller hailed by The Boston Globe as “an astounding achievement . . . a masterpiece”— Richard Russo now tells the story of a marriage, and all the other ties that bind, from parents and in-laws to children and the promises of youth. Thirty years ago, on their Cape Cod honeymoon, Jack and Joy Griffin made a plan for their future that has largely been fulfilled. He left Los Angeles behind for the sort of New England college his parents had aspired to, and now the two of them are back on the Cape—where he’d also spent his childhood vacations—to celebrate the marriage of their daughter Laura’s best friend. Sure, Jack’s been driving around with his father’s ashes in the trunk, though his mother’s very much alive and often on his cell phone. Laura’s boyfriend seems promising, but be careful what you pray for, especially if it happens to come true. A year later, at her wedding, Jack has another urn in the car, and both he and Joy have brought new dates. Full of every family feeling imaginable, wonderfully comic and profoundly involving, That Old Cape Magic is surprising, uplifting and unlike anything this Pulitzer Prize winner has ever written. Richard Russo is the author of six previous novels and The Whore’s Child, a collection of stories. He was awarded the 2002 Pulitzer Prize for Empire Falls. He lives with his wife in Camden, Maine, and in Boston. (jasbro)… (more) Writers on the Record: Richard Russo
