About Elsewhere by Richard Russo
Richard Russo’s memoir looks back on his childhood in Gloversville, an upstate New York town once known for its leather industry. Set against the town’s declining prosperity in the 1950s, it recounts life with his parents: an ambitious mother who wanted a different future and a charming, unreliable father.
Russo traces the family’s efforts to leave and the lasting pull of home. Readers interested in memoirs of family, personal ambition, and the changing fortunes of small-town New York will find a personal account rooted in a specific place and period.
