In his latest novel, Richard Russo returns to the down-and-out fictional town of North Bath, N.Y., the setting for his 1993 success “Nobody’s Fool.” This time the protagonist is Doug Raymer, chief of police and a secondary character in the earlier novel. Once again, a group of wonderfully drawn and scruffy characters are playing out their lives in an equally scruffy town. You can read the Monitor's full review of "Everybody's Fool" here.
