Review title: Pith and Vinegar
Product review: With Empire Falls, Richard Russo traces post-industrial decline in small town America and its resultant elements of disenfranchisement, power abuse, classism and violence. Each character in this small town has a personal struggle against this gradual descent. In effect then, Russo writes the perfect story of both universal and personal entropy. That he can do all that in a way that is compassionate, philosophical and funny makes Empire Falls a great read and a worthy recipient of the Pulitzer.
