Agenda: Richard Russo (That Old Cape Magic) bij het John Adams Institute

Where Richard Russo’s recent novels Empire Falls (vertaald als Empire Falls) and Bridge of Sighs (Brug der zuchten) were epic in scale, his eighth book, That Old Cape Magic (Het inzicht van Griffin) is smaller: a warmly comic portrait of a man in midlife crisis. While suffering through his present-day anguish, the hero, Jack Griffin, is carrying the ashes of his father in the trunk of his car: literal baggage of his past. As the Washington Post said in its review, “Richard Russo has written a novel for people who are terrified of becoming their parents, which is to say for everybody.”  Join us for an evening with the maestro novelist of smalltown America.
