The Bascombe Novels: Written and Introduced by Richard Ford (Everyman's Library Contemporary Classics Series)

(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)

A trilogy of brilliant novelsâ€”The Sportswriter, Independence Day, and The Lay of the Landâ€”that 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 changedâ€”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 fortuneâ€™s rise and his familyâ€™s fragmentation. With finely honed prose and an eye that captures the most subtle nuances of the human conditionâ€”all its pathos and beauty and strangenessâ€”Ford transforms this ordinary manâ€™s life into a riveting, moving parable of life in America today.
