Description

An incredibly funn and intelligent book within the customs of Thornton Wilder and Anne Tyler, The Risk Pool is placed in Mohawk, Ny, where Ned Corridor does his better to develop, although neither of his estranged parents may correctly be named adult.His dad, Mike, cultivates poor practices so assiduously he is caught at the end of his car insurance risk pool. His mother, Jenny, is gradually going insane from bitterness in a spouse who refuses either to stay or even to stay apart. As Ned veers between allegiances to these blatantly insufficient role-models, Rich Russo gives us a book that reaches once irreverent and suddenly moving and whose perspective of household overflows with outsized characters and extravagant setbacks.
