The new masterpiece from one of America's greatest novelists.
Frank Bascombe is back. The protagonist of Richard Ford's acclaimed novels, 'The Sportswriter' and 'Independence Day', is now in his late middle age. Recovering from cancer, he looks back on his marriages, friendships, children and career. Elegant, melancholic, full of understated irony,' The Lay of the Land' is a remarkable portrait of a seemingly ordinary man as he assesses the life he has led.
