About Mohawk by Richard Russo
Mohawk, New York, is a small town where many of its citizens have fallen on hard times. Richard Russo’s novel follows Dallas Younger, once a high-school star athlete, now drifting between taverns and poker games; his ex-wife, Anne, caught in a struggle with her mother over the care of her sick father; and their son, Randall, who neglects school because he sees little reward in getting ahead.
With compassion and flint-hard wit, Russo portrays lives shaped by stalled ambitions, old attachments, family strain, and the myths a community tells about itself. Readers drawn to character-rich fiction about small-town life and people facing difficult circumstances may find this novel especially rewarding.
