Few contemporary novelists have dissected American culture in as great detail as Richard Ford has in his Frank Bascome trilogy. These three works form a triptych on the idiosyncrasies of US society displayed by one of the nation's most conscientious narrators. This book rediscovers the essence of Ford's main novelistic project, unveiling it as an inexhaustible source of insights for any reader interested in the people, myths, and narratives that construct Americanness.
