{"product_id":"rock-springs-stories-9780802144577","title":"Rock Springs: Stories","description":"In these ten exquisite stories, first published by Atlantic Monthly Press in 1987 and now reissued as a Grove Press paperback, Richard Ford mines literary gold from the wind-scrubbed landscape of the American West--and from the guarded hopes and gnawing loneliness of the people who live there: a refugee from justice driving across Wyoming with his daughter and an unhappy girlfriend in a stolen, cranberry-colored Mercedes; a boy watching his family dissolve in a night of tragicomic violence; and two men and a woman swapping hard-luck stories in a frontier bar as they try to sweeten their luck. \u003ci\u003eRock Springs\u003c\/i\u003e is a masterpiece of taut narration, cleanly chiseled prose, and empathy so generous that it feels like a kind of grace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802144577\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 235\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eMen's Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2012 pg. 48\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Richard Ford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36643448651932,"sku":"9780802144577","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_681fdf4e-17bd-41dd-b7e9-39b34ae8e554.jpg?v=1603856635","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/rock-springs-stories-9780802144577","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
