Through Bascombe--protean, funny, profane, wise, often inappropriate--we've witnessed the aspirations, sorrows, longings, achievements and failings of an American life in the twilight of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, in \u003cem\u003eLet Me Be Frank with You\u003c\/em\u003e, 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Large Print\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780062344311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.91h x 4.85w x 0.61d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge Print\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Richard Ford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43067598307509,"sku":"9780062344311","price":23.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_06a71df1-2a37-49bf-94a5-2f9604ed00d7.jpg?v=1690861087","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/let-me-be-frank-with-you-a-frank-bascombe-book-9780062344311","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
