    A Sign of Things to Come
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 25, 2003*

With his Pulitzer Prize winning and best selling novel Empire Falls, Richard Russo has become a well-known author.  In Mohawk, his first novel, we see, if somewhat imperfectly, the writer he would become.Like his other novels, Mohawk is the story of a small town in the northeastern part of the U.S.  The town - in this case Mohawk - is a place on the wane as the industry that fueled it peters out.  In this story, we follow the adventures of Dallas Younger, his ex-wife Anne and their son Randall in the late '60s and early '70s.  Dallas lives a life of general irresponsibility and likes it that way.  Anne pines away for her cousin's husband, a wheelchair-bound man who she sleeps with every twenty years or so.  Randall has his own issues to deal with including his efforts to evade the draft.As with Russo's other stories, the characters are more important than the plot, and he is able to make them compelling enough that we want to keep reading.  Compared with his other novels, this one is rather serious, although there is some humor.This novel is good but not as great as his other books; in a way, this book is like an exhibition game before the regular season; we get a general feel for what Russo does but it is still just warming up.  For example, in Dallas, we see the prototype for the deeper Sully in Nobody's Fool.  Other elements of this story are revisited in his other stories.I would recommend this book, but don't judge Russo by this story.  He's just getting warmed up here.

    Serious Humor
  

*by O***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 12, 2001*

Richard Russo is one of America's funniest literary novelists. This novel is based in small-town New England, and all readers who have ever lived in a small town anywhere in America will feel like they're in on one of the wittiest jokes they've ever heard the entire time they read this book. Some characters want out of the town but seem never to succeed. Others never think of leaving. Others have thought of it and want to stay. All of which creates a very real and very humorous tale of small town life.This story isn't small-minded in its small-town setting, nor is it simply humorous. Large personal issues that everyone, despite where he/she lives, must deal with are honestly and intelligently explored in this novel (e.g. a father's death, cancer, divorce, growing up, growing old, being poor, being rich then becoming poor).The only reason I rank this novel with 4 stars instead of 5 is that it does seem to be slightly too long. It is still a great read, but if it were 20-25 pages shorter, it would have kept the energy it started with. I don't mean to suggest that it ever becomes boring, but it came out of the gates at a sprint and slowed down a bit toward the end.In short, I advise reading this book. Despite any flaws it may have, it is better than most books I've read recently. It avoids being overly serious without becoming trite humor. I would also advise reading his novels Risk Pool and Straight Man which are also humorous and intelligent reads.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    You won't want to put down!
  

*by N***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 5, 2020*

As always, Russo spins a great tale.  His insight into the human character is revelatory and deeply felt and his mastery of language is superb.  If you like this novel you might want to read The Risk Pool, also by Russo.  It is set in the same upstate NY town.
