The Lay of the Land: A Novel by Richard Ford
The Lay of the Land: A Novel

erickson.bruce, September 3, 2007

In "Lay of the Land," Ford draws a life-like portrait of his divorced, aging, prostate cancer victim and protagonist, Frank Bascombe, with Proustian detail and a lot of humor, insight and eloquence.
