Book Club: Empire Falls by Richard Russo (at Main Library)
7:00pm — Richard Russo won a Pulitzer Prize for his engaging tale of blue-collar life in the small dead-end town of Empire Falls. Miles Roby has been slinging burgers at the Empire Grill for 20 years, and he looks at his hometown and its cast of characters with bemused regret. Staying has cost Miles a college education and much more, and Empire Falls unfolds as an “epic of small and large frustrations.” The NY Times calls Russo’s novel “rich, humorous, elegantly constructed.” Led by library trustee Bob Dodd. *** Framingham Public Library, Costin Room, 49 Lexington St., Downtown Framingham
