The Risk Pool by Richard Russo
A middle-aged novelist visits his ailing, larger-than-life uncle in the small rust-belt town where he grew up and, through vivid recollections of a turbulent childhood marked by alcoholism, poverty, and the town’s decline, traces how that reckless guardian and the community’s hardships shaped his identity, creative voice, and complicated feelings about loyalty, forgiveness, and belonging.
