"An intimate and powerful family story . . . impeccably told." --"Chicago Tribune"
"Moving and darkly funny. . . . Russo mines grace from his gritty hometown." --"The Wall Street Journal"
"One of the most honest, moving American memoirs in years. . . . Russo's intellectual and emotional honesty are remarkable." --NPR Books
"Russo conjures the incredible bond between single mother and only child in a way that makes his story particularly powerful." --"The Daily Beast
""Redemption is always the prize in a Russo story. Nowhere do we see that more clearly than in "Elsewhere," a brave little book in which a writer spins deprivation into advantage, suffering into wisdom, and a broken mother into a muse." "--The Washington Post
""Vivid . . . devastating. . . . Russo brings the remarkable compassion he's known for in his fiction to this account." "--The Christian Science Monitor
""Russo is the Bruce Springsteen of novelists. . . . In a paragraph or even a phrase, he can summon up a whole world." "--"Maureen Corrigan," Fresh Air
""Funny and winning. . . . This stirring book belongs to Jean and Rick." "--The New York Times Book Review
""Filled with insights, by turn tender and tough, about human fidelity, frailty, forbearance, and fortitude." "--The Philadelphia Inquirer
""A quietly riveting portrait. . . . "Elsewhere" depicts the tenacious grip that Gloversville exerted on mother and son alike."" --The New York Observer
""Exquisite. . . . "Elsewhere" is a memoir and a bravura essay, a meditation on negotiating flaws."" --The Miami Herald
""Richard Russo has mined his childhood with enormous energy, humor and craftsmanship. . . . Readers discovering Russo through this memoir and then returning to his first few titles are embarking on a delightful voyage with a gifted writer about whom they now know a great deal."" --The Seattle Times
""Affecting. . . . Russo's parallel themes of people and place come together elegantly." "--San Francisco Chronicle
""A real-life mystery about his mother's demons. . . . Russo writes without bitterness, but with the kind of clear-eyed compassion he bestows on his fictional characters."" --USA Today
""Rich and layered. . . . Russo's memoir is an honest book about a universal subject: those familial bonds that only get trickier with time." "--Minneapolis Star Tribune
""Outstanding."" --Chicago Sun-Times
