For years Richard Russo has written novels about small cities in America. So it makes sense that his latest book tour would take him to some of those small cities:

The Pulitzer Prize-winning author recently announced he will arrive in Exeter, Maine (population 1000) to discuss his latest book, "That Old Cape Magic." And as he points out, the book focuses on something even more important than the city--it focuses on the people who live there:
"'The book is a bit different than some of my other novels,' Russo said. 'This book doesn't necessarily focus on the small town. My book is about people who live in places like the places I set my other novels, but they have a dream of this magical place that will make them better.'"
Russo's point is an important one. A city is not made special by its buildings or even by its size. It's made special by its people. That's what turns a city into a community.
