BATH

On March 14 at 6:30 p.m., Patten Free Library in Bath will host Richard Russo for an author chat and book signing.

In the pages of “Everybody’s Fool,” Russo returns to North Bath, the Rust Belt town first brought to life in a previous Russo novel, “Nobody’s Fool.” Now, ten years after the event of “Nobody’s Fool,” character Doug Raymer has become the chief of police and is tormented by the death of his wife — and his suspicion that he was a failure of a husband. Meanwhile another character, Sully, has come into a small fortune — but is also faced with a cardiologist’s estimate that he only has a year or two left to live.

Russo is the author of nine novels, most recently the bestselling “Everybody’s Fool” and “That Old Cape Magic,” and the memoir “Elsewhere.” In 2002 he received a Pulitzer Prize for “Empire Falls.” He lives in Portland.
