First published by Granta in 1992, it became the definitive anthology of American short fiction written in the last half of the twentieth century - an "exemplary choice" in the words of the Washington Post - with stories by writers such as Eudora Welty, John Cheever and Raymond Carver (and forty others) demonstrating how much memorable power can lie in the briefest narration. Along with THE GRANTA BOOK OF THE AMERICAN SHORT STORY: VOLUME2, thi...

L'uomo è condannato alla solitudine? Leggendo Ford sembra proprio di sì, con tutte le mogli e i mariti separati che si incontrano nei suoi libri. I più saggi sembrano essere spesso i ragazzi, i figli di queste coppie, adolescenti malinconici che, abbandonati a se stessi, cercano di tenere in piedi la baracca e osservano i disastri degli adulti con uno sguardo freddo e crudele. Gli "infiniti peccati" sono generati dalla nostra incapacità di ess...

The center provides a felicitous setting for recovery-beautiful buildings on lovely wooded grounds just off the quiet main street of the ...

One of the most celebrated and unflinching chroniclers of modern life now explores, in this masterful collection of short stories, the grand theme of intimacy, love, and their failures.With remarkable insight and candor, Richard Ford examines liaisons in and out and to the sides of marriage. An illicit visit to the Grand Canyon reveals a vastness even more profound. A couple weekending in Maine try to recapture the ardor that has disappeared f...
In his first volume of short fiction since the acclaimed "Rock Springs", Ford creates a portrait gallery of male characters who are as wounded, as rueful, and a touchingly vulnerable as Frank Bascombe, the protagonist of his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, "Independence Day".
In this startling new way to read the parables, Ford unlocks seven of the longer parables attributed to Jesus. He focuses on the two major characters in each parable, who are separated by social inequality, and he entirely bypasses the common approach that assumes that the superior character represents God and the subordinate character the Christian believer.
Drawing on his own therapeutic training, Ford offers unique insight into the psychody...
