Richard Russo's (writer) first novel set the tone for much of his later work. The story of an ailing industrial town and the interwoven lives of its inhabitants, "Mohawk" won critical praise for its witty, engaging style. The fictional town of Mohawk, N.Y., also provided the setting for Russo's second novel, "The Risk Pool." His third novel, "Nobody's Fool," was made into a film by Robert Benton, starring Paul Newman. Russo next drew on some of his experiences in academia for "Straight Man," which chronicles the exploits of an oddball professor at a third-rate university. He returned to the small-town setting of his earlier novels for the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Empire Falls." Russo recently published his first short story collection, "The Whore's Child," and he is currently working on a new novel and other screen projects.
