{"product_id":"9780679753827-secondhand-mohawk","title":"Mohawk","description":"From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of  Empire Falls  comes a wonderfully written novel about a small town in New York whose citizens have fallen on hard times.  \"Immensely readable and sympathetic.... Mr. Russo has an instinctive gift for capturing the rhythms of small-town life.\" - The New York Times Mohawk, New York, is one of those small towns that lie almost entirely on the wrong side of the tracks. Dallas Younger, a star athlete in high school, now drifts from tavern to poker game, losing money, and, inevitably, another set of false teeth. His ex-wife, Anne, is stuck in a losing battle with her mother over the care of her sick father. And their son, Randall, is deliberately neglecting his school work-because in a place like Mohawk it doesn't pay to be too smart. In  Mohawk,  Russo explores these lives with profound compassion and flint-hard wit. Out of derailed ambitions and old loves, secret hatreds and communal myths, he has created a richly plotted, densely populated, and wonderfully written novel that captures every nuance of America's backyard. Look for Richard Russo's new book,  Somebody's Fool , coming soon.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48979950502107,"sku":"9780679753827-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/060118dd-a713-415f-aab2-7b62d4eaa652.jpg?v=1784220942","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780679753827-secondhand-mohawk","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
