BE MINE - RICHARD FORD KARTONIERT (TB)

'A masterful writer' - RAYMOND CARVER 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  here  once more our guide to the great American midway. Now in the twilight of
life  a man who has occupied many colourful 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's 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 display the prose  wit and intelligence that make him one of the world's most
acclaimed living writers. Be Mine is a profound  funny  poignant love letter to our beleaguered
world. 'One of the finest achievements of modern American fiction' The Independent
