Fiction
In this visionary sequel to The Sportswriter, Richard Ford
deepens his portrait of one of the most unforgettable
characters in American fiction, and in so doing gives us an
indelible portrait of America. Frank Bascombe, in the aftermath of his divorce and the ruin
of his career, has entered an "Existence Period", selling
real estate in Haddam, New Jersey, and mastering the
high-wire act of normalcy. But over one Fourth of July
weekend, Frank is called into sudden, bewildering engagement
with life. Independence Day is moving, peerlessly funny odyssey through
America and through the layered consciousness of one of its
most compelling literary incarnations, conducted by a
novelist of astonishing empathy and perception.
