ABOUT THIS BOOK
His fifth novel which features his memorable character Frank Bascombe from "The Sportswriter."
A wonderful copy of the extraordinary novel which won both the Pulitzer and the PEN/Faulkner awards.
A visionary account of American life and the long-awaited sequel to one of the most celebrated novels of the past decade "Independence Day" reveals a man and our country with unflinching comedy and the spector of hope and even permanence, all of which Richard Ford evokes with keen intelligence, perfect emotional pitch and a voice invested with absolute authority.
REVIEW = Another title for Ford's 1996 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel might be "The Return of Frank Bascombe." Bascombe, in this sequel to Ford's 10-year-old The Sportswriter, comes close to taking his place with John Updike's Rabbit Angstrom in the pantheon of confused white middle-class American literary protagonists. Frank Bascombe is no longer a sportswriter, yet he's still living in Haddam, New Jersey, where he now sells real estate.
He's still divorced, though his ex-wife, to his dismay, has remarried and moved along with their children to Connecticut. At age 44 he has entered what Bascombe calls "the Existence Period, the high-wire act of normalcy, the part that comes after the big struggle which led to the big blowup."
Bascombe's almost comic indecisiveness has led to the breakup of his marriage, a detached, wary affair, and an achingly fragile relationship with his troubled teenage son, Paul. Ford details Bascombe's Fourth of July weekend in leisurely, measured prose, crafting scenes of muted heartbreak.
