## Resource

On this week’s episode of You Are What You Read, we are excited to welcome the great RICHARD RUSSO. You know Richard’s work: Somebody’s Fool, Chances Are…, Everybody’s Fool, and That Old Cape Magic; two collections of stories; and the memoir Elsewhere, among others. In 2002, Richard received the Pulitzer Prize for Empire Falls, which, like Nobody’s Fool, won multiple awards for its screen adaptation, and in 2023 his novel Straight Man was adapted into the television series Lucky Hank.
