Ein grundzufriedener Mann

North Bath, Upstate New York, mid-eighties: Donald Sullivan, known to everyone as Sully, leads a comfortable life in the sleepy small town. Although he is divorced, his bad knee constantly gives him trouble, and he has been having a secret affair with a married woman for a long time, he is content with his life. He has always managed to avoid any responsibility—whether as a husband, a father, or a tenant of his former high school teacher. Now, the seriousness of life catches up with him: not only does his grandson, who is fleeing a troubled family, suddenly need his help. With subtle irony and a great deal of understanding for the quirks of his eccentric characters, Richard Russo tells the story of small-town America. 'Nobody's Fool' is a reissue of a classic: this book was originally published under the title 'Nobody's Fool.'.
