![]() ![]() ![]() Ford is here again working with the maturity and brilliance of a writer at the absolute height of his powers. It is a moving and wondrous and extremely funny odyssey through the America we live in at this moment. ![]() In four richly luminous narratives, Bascombe (and Ford) attempts to reconcile, interpret and console a world undone by calamity. Now, in Let Me Be Frank with You, Ford reinvents Bascombe in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Through Bascombe-protean, funny, profane, wise, often inappropriate-we've witnessed the aspirations, sorrows, longings, achievements and failings of an American life in the twilight of the twentieth century. In his trio of world-acclaimed novels portraying the life of an entire American generation, Richard Ford has imagined one of the most indelible and widely discussed characters in modern literature, Frank Bascombe. People Hilarious, poignant and full of unexpected gems, BE FRANK WITH ME illuminates the strange ways literature can parallel life, and introduces readers to one of the most charming, lovable and maddening children in fiction. A brilliant new work that returns Richard Ford to the hallowed territory that sealed his reputation as an American master: the world of Frank Bascombe, and the landscape of his celebrated novels The Sportswriter, the Pulitzer Prize and PEN/Faulkner winning Independence Day, and The Lay of the Land. ![]()
