“Russo proves himself a master at evoking the sights, feelings, and smells of a town…. [The Risk Pool is] superbly original and maliciously funny.” —The New York Times Book Review
“A fine, closely observed novel … Richard Russo writes with such sympathy and attention to the rhythms of small-town life that he invests inarticulate lives with genuine passion…. [He] has succeeded in creating characters with the emotional weight of people we’ve known in real life.” —The New York Times
“Weighted with wonderful detail … a rich, anecdotal novel brimming with the metaphorical lessons of adolescence: on pocket billiards and sexual frustration, trout fishing and serenity.” —The Boston Globe
“Richard Russo has it just perfect in The Risk Pool. A gem of a novel.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch
