Straight Man by Richard Russo
Are you familiar with the term straight man? He is normally the butt of the joke, or the one to set it up. The clown gets the laughs while the straight man gets a pie in the face.
Richard Russo doesn't write humor. He merely points out how funny the events in one's life really are. In the case of Straight Man, the life in question is Hank's.
Straight Man. does have its dark elements. Hank's relationship with his father is strained. He also has a hard time sitting back and watching his daughter screw up her life. Russo's gift is that he can weave hilarity through these difficult times just as others do in real life.
