Interventions: A Novella & Three Stories

Interventions: A Novella & Three Stories
- Used Book in Good Condition
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 This handsome and inventive formatâ€”four individually bound volumes gathered in a slipcaseâ€”combines the previously unpublished novella â€œInterventionâ€ with three shorter works, two of which have not been published in book form.

The four tales in Interventions crackle with Russoâ€™s perceptive wit and unwavering compassion for the human condition. In the title novella, self-obsessed realtor Ray must confront his own mortality and doesnâ€™t 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. â€œHorsemanâ€ explores the complexities of a young professorâ€™s marriage and academic life, and â€œThe Whoreâ€™s Childâ€ negotiates the not-always-clear line between fact and fiction. The final piece, â€œHigh and Dry,â€ is Russoâ€™s 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.
