As a sportswriter, Frank Bascombe makes his living studying
people--men, mostly--who live entirely within themselves.
This is a condition that Frank himself aspires to. But at
thirty-eight, he suffers from incurable dreaminess,
occasional pounding of the heart, and the not-too-distant
losses of a career, a son, and a marriage. In the course of
the Easter week in which Ford's moving novel transpires,
Bascombe will end up losing the remnants of his familiar
life, though with his spirits soaring.
