Richard Russo Synopses: Mohawk is a standalone title by Richard Russo. Mohawk, New York is a small town that lies nearly entirely on the wrong side of the tracks. The residents of the town have fallen on hard times. Dallas Younger, a star athlete in high school, now drifts from tavern to poker game, losing money, and, inevitably, another set of false teeth. His ex-wife, Anne, is stuck in a losing battle with her mother over the care of her sick father. And their son, Randall, is deliberately neglecting his school work – because in a place like Mohawk it doesn’t pay to be too smart.
The Risk Pool is a standalone novel by Richard Russo. In Mohawk, New York, Ned Hall is trying the grow-up, even though his own estranged parents have never done so themselves. His father, Sam, cultivates bad habits so assiduously that he is stuck at the bottom of his auto insurance risk pool. His mother, Jenny, is slowly going crazy from resentment at a husband who refuses either to stay or to stay away. Ned will have to veer between allegiances to these very inadequate role models.
