A wonderful work, exciting. A truly literary pageturner with fully realized loveable characters. Completely unpretentious. Even Wild Bill--Russo is totally forgiven for his creation, a patent Faulknerian manchild--is never doubted for a moment and plays a very pivotal part in the author's unfolding of this unforgettable town and the folks in it. I dream Mohawk (finding myself in the town) sometimes, even though I read this book two maybe three years ago. I can't believe that no one else visiting this site has reviewed this book at this time, besides the reprint of the published review. But Russo is not well known and this is his first novel. I recommend this book to anyone who breathes air and is thankful that they are a small part in the midst of this great ongoing tragicomedy (life). Didn't change my life, but if you want to read someone who is NOT a hack, read Richard Russo. Funny, too. --Jeremy

Original writing that will probably have the reader going back for more. Heard about Russo from some people for whom the written word is life. They read him. I decided to see what was between the covers. He develops relationships, mother/daughter;daughter/father;husband/wife; friend/enemy; that help you understand characters who could easily be part of your everyday scenery. Russo provides some unexpected perspective to his characters that keeps the reader intrigued. This was my second Russo book, and I think I'm going back for thirds. Mohawk is a novel, not a sceen play. While there are some twists, it is not quite as funny and endearing as Straight Man, but if you are a person who enjoys solid writing, intriguing, everyday characters and a new perspective, you should enjoy Richard Russo and MOHWAK.

I have now read all of Russo's novels but read them in reverse order, having started with Straight Man. Although Straight Man is still my favorite by far, all of Russo's books are good and worth reading. Mohawk seems to me to have a different tone from his later works. There is much less humor in this book and more sadness, but overall it is an upbeat story. I wish he would publish another novel soon, especially as it seems he gets better with each book.

Not the best from Russo, but still good.
I like Richard Russo's novels a lot. This is not the best one, but still good.
My favorite has to be Empire Falls, but Straight Man is also a very good read. Read more
