CHANCES ARE - RICHARD RUSSO KARTONIERT (TB)

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls comes a new revelation: a riveting story
about the abiding yet complex power of friendship. One beautiful September day  three men
convene on Martha's Vineyard  friends ever since meeting in college circa the sixties. They
couldn't have been more different then  or even today--Lincoln's a commercial real estate
broker  Teddy a tiny-press publisher  and Mickey a musician beyond his rockin' age. But each
man holds his own secrets  in addition to the monumental mystery that none of them has ever
stopped puzzling over since a Memorial Day weekend right here on the Vineyard in 1971: the
disappearance of the woman each of them loved--Jacy Calloway. Now  more than forty years later
as this new weekend unfolds  three lives are displayed in their entirety while the distant past
confounds the present like a relentless squall of surprise and discovery. Shot through with
Russo's trademark comedy and humanity  Chances Are . . . also introduces a new level of
suspense and menace that will quicken the reader's heartbeat throughout this absorbing saga of
how friendship's bonds are every bit as constricting and rewarding as those of family or any
other community. For both longtime fans and lucky newcomers  Chances Are . . . is a stunning
demonstration of a highly acclaimed author deepening and expanding his remarkable achievement.
