In his trio of world-acclaimed novels portraying the life of an entire American generation, Richard Ford has imagined one of the most indelible and widely-discussed characters in modern literature, Frank Bascombe. Through Bascombeprotean, funny, profane, wise, often inappropriatewe've witnessed the aspirations, sorrows, longings, achievements, and failings of an American life in the twilight of the twentieth century. Now, in Let Me Be Frank with You, Ford reinvents Bascombe in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. In four richly luminous narratives, Bascombe (and Ford) attempts to reconcile, interpret, and console a world undone by calamity. It is a moving and wondrous and extremely funny odyssey through the America we live in at this moment. Ford is here again working with the maturity and brilliance of a writer at the absolute height of his powers.

About the Author: Richard Ford is the author of the New York Times bestselling novel Canada, as well as The Bascombe Novels, the story collections A Multitude of Sins, and Rock Springs. His books have been published in more than twenty-five countries, won many prestigious international awards and been widely anthologized. He lives in Boothbay, Maine, with his wife Kristina Ford.
