subsequently went on to guest star on numerous television shows and
appear in many feature films. A master of accents and dialects, he

narration, video games, and radio and television commercials.
"Once again, virtuoso Ford deftly sails the seas and storms of
consciousness."-- "Booklist (starred review)"
"Powerfully unsettling stories in which men nearing the end of
their lives wonder, befuddled, if that's all there is."-- "Kirkus
Reviews"
"This is America, and Richard Ford is its chronicler. In these
superbly wrought tales he catches, with exquisite precision, what
Emerson in his scholarly address failed to mention, the
irresistible melancholy that is the mark of American life."-- "Wall
Street Journal"
"This sparkling collection is drenched in retrospection; characters
mull regrets and rancors that have lost their bitterness with time.
Ford's mastery of fiction extends to his gift for interior
monologue and human speech."-- "New York Times Book Review"
