Russo, Richard , 1949-

Mohawk / Richard Russo - New York : Alfred A. Knopf , 1986 - 317 p. ; 25 cm.

Mohawk, NY, 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, and inevitably, another set of false teeth. Old loves, secret hatreds and communal myths, Russo created a richly plotted, densely populated, and wonderfully written novel that captures every nuance of America's backyard.
