Summary:
Collects the trilogy that follows the life and career of character Frank Bascombe. 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 changed - by 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 fortune's rise and his family's fragmentation. With finely honed prose and an eye that captures the most subtle nuances of the human condition - all its pathos and beauty and strangeness - Ford transforms this ordinary man's life into a riveting, moving parable of life in America today.
Genre:
Psychological fiction.
