About This Novel
"Duology of Fools" is a series of works by the famous American writer Richard Russo. The novel tells the story of the decline of the American Rust Belt and the people at the bottom struggling in the decadence. Through the daily depiction of the small town, the writer keenly captures the life dilemmas, family conflicts, emotional entanglements, fulfillment and evasion of moral obligations of contemporary people. The seemingly simple family love presents complex emotional tension in Russo's writing. "Remer the Fool" is the sequel to "Sully the Fool". The writer reunites us with these lovable characters and lets us continue to listen to him ramble on about the hustle and bustle of the small town. In the past twenty years, Sully has experienced many unexpected good fortunes, but now he does not have the courage to face the heart doctor's diagnosis - he only has one or two years left to live. Sully had to hide this news from the most important people in his life: Ruth, a married woman who had been entangled with him; his unlucky friend Rob; his son and grandson whom he had not seen for many years; Doug Reimer, the current police chief who had just experienced the loss of his wife; Gus Moynihan, the current mayor of North Bath, who had previously worked as an academic; Carl Roebuck, who had spent his life avoiding failure but ended up bankrupt. In "Remo the Fool", former enemies have reached reconciliation, emotional betrayals have been forgiven, and the little people still walk forward with courage, humor and warmth.
