Seit dreißig Jahren ist er verheiratet, hat eine wohlgeratene Tochter und wurde nach seiner Karriere als Hollywood-Drehbuchautor Professor an einem kleinen College im Nordosten. Doch nun ist er Mitte fünfzig und erkennt, dass ihn die Lebensmuster seiner wunderbar scheußlichen Eltern längst eingeholt haben. Der Pulitzer-Preisträger Richard Russo, der in den USA schon seit Langem zu den bedeutenden Schriftstellern zählt, zeigt in seinem facettenreichen Roman, dass wir den Rollenbildern, denen wir zu entfliehen suchen, niemals ganz entkommen: Wir wiederholen sie - oder verkehren sie in ihr Gegenteil. \"Diese alte Sehnsucht\" führt ebenso unterhaltsam wie kunstvoll vor, dass Familie dort ist, wo uns das Schlimmste, aber auch das Beste geschieht. \"Eine romantische Komödie aus der Lebensmitte, voller Humor und Zuversicht.\"The Guardian" . . . . . "Griffin has been tooling around for nearly a year with his father's ashes in the trunk, but his mother is still very much alive, and not shy about calling on his cell phone. She does so as he drives down to Cape Cod, where he and his wife, Joy, will celebrate the marriage of their daughter Laura's best friend. But by the end of this perfectly lovely weekend, the past has so thoroughly swamped the present that the future suddenly hangs in the balance." . "Diese alte Sehnsucht : Roman" .
