BE MINE - RICHARD FORD GEBUNDEN

From Pulitzer Prize winner Richard Ford: the final novel in the world of Frank Bascombe  one of
the most indelible characters in American literature Over the course of four celebrated works
of fiction and almost forty years  Richard Ford has crafted an ambitious  incisive  and
singular view of American life as lived. Unconstrained  astute  provocative  often
laugh-out-loud funny  Frank Bascombe is once more our guide to the great American midway. Now
in the twilight of life  a man who has occupied many colorful lives-sportswriter  father 
husband  ex-husband  friend  real estate agent-Bascombe finds himself in the most sorrowing
role of all: caregiver to his son  Paul  diagnosed with ALS. On a shared winter odyssey to
Mount Rushmore  Frank  in typical Bascombe fashion  faces down the mortality that is assured
each of us  and in doing so confronts what happiness might signify at the end of days. In this
memorable novel  Richard Ford puts on displays the prose  wit  and intelligence that make him
one of our most acclaimed living writers. Be Mine is a profound  funny  poignant love letter to
our beleaguered world.
