Product Description

New York Times
Immensely readable and sympathetic

Product Description
Mohawk, New York, is one of those small towns that lie almost entirely on the wrong side of the tracks. Its citizens, too, have fallen on hard times. Dallas Younger, a star athlete in high school, now drifts from tavern to poker game, losing money. His ex-wife, Anne, is stuck in a losing battle with her mother over the care of her sick father. And their son, Randall, is deliberately neglecting his schoolwork - because in a place like Mohawk it doesn't pay to be too smart. "Mohawk" chronicles over a dozen lives in a decaying leather town in upstate New York. It is a picture of life which is true for the whole world, and once viewed, will never be forgotten.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic early!!!, 3 Dec 2003
This review is from: Mohawk (Paperback)
I found this book on one of my usual trawls through the cheap shelves in 1990 and I loved it so much I have reread it 4 times so far. I have bought it countless times as presents for friends and family, they love it too. Russo's writing gets better and better so if you're working backwards don't expect fireworks but on it's own this book stands proud.

4.0 out of 5 stars Russo crafts relationships that build characters., 6 April 1998
By A Customer
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good story, well written, 3 Sep 1999
By A Customer
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.
