Saying goodbye to a favorite character or location can be one of the hardest parts of finishing a great read. On this edition of The Weekly Reader, we review two new books that give us the chance to revisit some familiar faces and well-loved places: Crook Manifesto, by Colson Whitehead, and Somebody's Fool, by Richard Russo.

All titles available at The Ivy Bookshop and other fine local retailers.
