of Richard Ford
Series: Frank Bascombe #1â3
Description
(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)A trilogy of brilliant novelsâThe Sportswriter, Independence Day, and The Lay of the Landâthat charts the life and times of one of the most beloved and enduring characters in modern fiction.When we meet Frank Bascombe in The Sportswriter, his unguarded voice instantly wins us over and pulls us into a life that has been irrevocably changedâby the loss of a marriage, a career, a child. We then follow Frank, ever laconic and observant, through Independence Day and The Lay of the Land, witnessing his fortuneâs rise and his familyâs fragmentation. With finely honed prose and an eye that captures the most subtle nuances of the human conditionâall its pathos and beauty and strangenessâFord transforms this ordinary manâs life into a riveting, moving parable of life in America today.
