Straight Man: A Novel | Richard Russo

A Pulitzer prize winner tries his hand at comedy

2 years ago

Straight Man is a really funny novel. Following the misadventures of an English professor at a liberal arts college in small town America, it is one of Russo’s funniest novels to date. If you like seeing really smart people do some really stupid things, this is the book for you. A great and entertaining read. read review
