In this admirablewry, idiosyncratic, vulnerably bighearted collection (The New York Times Book Review), the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls powerfully considers the unexpected turns of the creative life and reveals the inner workings of one of Americas most beloved authors.Ive written a lot about destiny in my fiction, admits Richard Russo, not because I understand it, but because Id like to. In the first of these eleven remarkable essays, Russo shares the story of his onetime fiction workshop classmate who, of the two of them, was considered the class star, bound for literary glory. Yet it was Russo who emerged as a major writer. How, he wonders, did he manage to steal his classmates destiny? What twists of talent and fate determine a would-be writers path?In each of the pieces collected here, Russo considers the unexpected turns of the creative life. From his grandfathers years cutting gloves to his own teenage dreams of rock stardom; from his first college teaching jobs to his dazzling reads of Dickens and Twain; from the roots of his famous novels to his journey accompanying a dear friendthe writer Jennifer Finney Boylanas she pursued gender reassignment surgery, The Destiny Thief powerfully reveals the inner workings of one of Americas most beloved authors.Look for Richard Russo's new book, Somebody's Fool, coming soon.
