ISBN: 9780747585176 / 0747585172 - The Sportswriter by Richard Ford. Published by Bloomsbury, 2006. Softcover. Used, Good condition. 384 pp.

As a sportswriter, Frank Bascombe makes his living studying people - men, mostly - who live entirely within themselves. This is a condition that Frank himself aspires to. But at thirty-eight, he suffers from incurable dreaminess, occasional pounding of the heart, and the not-too-distant losses of a career, a son, and a marriage.

In the course of the Easter week in which Ford's moving novel transpires, Bascombe will end up losing the remnants of his familiar life, though with his spirits still soaring.
