Couverture de Independence Day par Richard Ford

Résumé

Présentation de l'éditeur After the disintegration of his family, the ruin of his career and an affair with a much younger woman, Frank Bascombe decides that the surest route to a normal American life is to become an estate agent in Haddam, New Jersey. Frank blunders through the suburban citadels of the Eastern Seaboard and avoids engaging in life until the sudden, cataclysmic events of a Fourth of July weekend with his son jolt him back. Biographie de l'auteur Richard Ford was born in Jackson, Mississippi, in 1944. He has published five novels and two previous collections of stories. Independence Day was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, and, two weeks later, the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction, the first time the same book had won both prizes.
