Northshire Saratoga: Richard Russo - Under the Falls

This is an in person event at Universal Preservation Hall!

Tickets are required for this event and must be purchased via the Proctors box office.

Northshire Bookstore and Universal Preservation Hall are proud to present an afternoon with Pulitzer Prize winning author Richard Russo in conversation with Joe Donahue of WAMC/Northeast Public Radio. Russo will discuss his new novel Under the Falls, a spellbinding page-turner about a crime in a small town that exposes long-held secrets and betrayals among a group of lifelong friends.

"A local boy made good returns years later to his impoverished, drug-and-crime ridden Adirondack town, where the warm welcome he desires is upended by those with long memories. Russo's agile storytelling shows how difficult it is to outrun your past." — Northshire Bookseller Mike Hare

Under the Falls is at once a propulsive thriller, a gut-wrenching portrait of a tight-knit rural community undone by the sins of its past, and an unflinchingly honest depiction of how porous the line between right and wrong, good versus evil, can become. This is a stunning, deeply empathetic novel, one that takes Russo’s penchant for character-driven drama to thrilling new heights.

Tickets for this event include an autographed hardcover copy of Under the Falls. You will receive your book upon arrival at the event on August 16.
