Book Notices | Nate in Venice by Richard Russo

Richard Russo, Nate in Venice

Amazon   Richard Russo's Kindle Single Nate in Venice tells the story of Nate's visit to Venice with a group that includes his older brother Julian. In something like 90 pages Russo manages to tell enough of the brothers' backstory to flesh out the relationship fully. And he hints enough at their likely future for us to fill in the blanks. My first thought was that the book ended a bit too abruptly. Now I'm not so sure. Maybe I just wasn't prepared for it because I hadn't realized I was so close to finished: Russo certainly doesn't leave the story unfinished. Definitely recommended.
