His novel Empire Falls, published in 2001, won the 2002 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. He has written four other novels: Mohawk, The Risk Pool, Nobody's Fool, and Straight Man, as well as a short story collection, The Whore's Child. Russo co-wrote the 1998 film Twilight with director Robert Benton, who also adapted and directed Russo's Nobody's Fool into a 1994 film of the same name, starring Paul Newman.
