Richard Russo on Dialogue

Author Richard Russo talks with host Marcia Franklin about his newest book, "Elsewhere: A Memoir," about his mother and the influence she had on his life and career. He also talks with Franklin about the themes of his other works, which include Empire Falls, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 2002.

There is so much tenderness, warmth and humour in his work, I'm fortunate to have read it.

What I love about Richard Russo is the same thing I love about John Updike: his ability to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. They're both able to find a beauty in the mundane. Read their books & you will find your little, insignificant life validated & justified.

Richard Russo is one of the most articulate, humble, talented writers in America today.

Brilliant author. Humble man. Perfect combo. Man would I love to have a beer with this giant.

I love Russo, what a great storyteller. Along his lines is Ron Carlson.
