by Richard Ford - £8.99 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC (2015)
paperback
ISBN 13: 9781408853597 | ISBN 10: 1408853590
Richard Ford returns with four deftly linked Christmas stories narrated by the iconic Frank Bascombe.
Now sixty-eight, Frank resides again in the New Jersey suburb of Haddam, and has thrived – seemingly but not utterly – amidst the devastations of Hurricane Sandy. The desolations of Sandy, which left countless lives unmoored, are the perfect backdrop for Ford – and Bascombe.
With a flawless comedic sensibility and unblinking intelligence, these stories range over the full complement of universal subjects: ageing, race, loss, faith, marriage, the real estate debacle – the tumult of the world we live in.
