- Change theme
Quotes by Richard Russo
- Movies have to handle time very efficiently. They're about stringing scenes together in the present. Novels aren't necessarily about that.
- My books are elegiac in the sense that they're odes to a nation that even I sometimes think may not exist anymore except in my memory and my imagination.
- My dad had this rock hard body and would work 12- to 13-hour days. The guys he worked with were scrap-iron guys. Nobody on that road crew had read a book in 10 years, but there was something about the way they lived I really admired.
