Description
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls, this slyly funny, moving novel about a blue-collar town in upstate New York--and about Sully, one of its unluckiest citizens, who has been doing the wrong thing triumphantly for fifty years--is a classic American story. "Remarkable.... A revelation of the human heart." --The Washington Post
Divorced from his own wife and carrying on halfheartedly with another man's, saddled with a bum knee and friends who make enemies redundant, Sully now has one new problem to cope with: a long-estranged son who is in imminent danger of following in his father's footsteps.

Nobody's Fool was made into a movie starring Paul Newman, Bruce Willis, Jessica Tandy, and Melody Griffith. Look for Everybody's Fool, available now, and Somebody's Fool, coming soon.
