Title: A stinker by Russo
Product review: "Straight Man" ranks as one of the worst novels I've read. It is a masterpice of prolixity, filled with boring episodes and chapters that do nothing to advance the plot. And nothing is resolved at the end; our miserable hero simply rides off into the sunset. One wonders if Russo had an editor. If he did, the editor ought to seek another line of work.
