Small sticker on dust jacket marked "Signed by the author". Richard Ford (born February 16, 1944) is an American novelist and short story writer. His best-known works are the novel The Sportswriter and its sequels, Independence Day, The Lay of the Land and Let Me Be Frank With You, and the short story collection Rock Springs, which contains several widely anthologized stories. His 1990 novel Wildlife, a story of a Montana golf professional turned firefighter, met with mixed reviews, but by the end of the 1990s Ford was well known. He was sought after as an editor and contributor. Ford edited the 1990 Best American Short Stories, the 1992 Granta Book of the American Short Story, the Fall 1996 "fiction issue" of Ploughshares, and the 1998 Granta Book of the American Long Story. Ford edited a two-volume edition of the selected works of the Mississippi writer Eudora Welty, which was published during 1998. During 1995, Ford published the novel Independence Day, a sequel to The Sportswriter, featuring the continued story of its protagonist, Frank Bascombe. Reviews were positive, and the novel became the first to win both the PEN/Faulkner Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. During the same year, Ford was chosen as winner of the Rea Award for the Short Story, for outstanding achievement for that genre. He ended the 1990s with a well-received collection of short stories, Women With Men, published during 1997. The Paris Review termed him a "master" of the short story genre. Richard Ford's parents--Edna, a feisty, pretty Catholic-school girl with a difficult past; and Parker, a sweet-natured, soft-spoken traveling salesman--were rural Arkansans born at the turn of the 20th century. Married in 1928, they lived "alone together" on the road, traveling throughout the south. Eventually they had one child, born late, in 1944. For Ford, the questions of what his parents dreamed of, how they loved each other and loved him, became a striking portrait of American life in the mid-century. This book is Ford's vivid image of where his life began and where his parents' lives found their greatest satisfaction. Derived from a Kirkus review: The Pulitzer Prize-winning fiction writer tells what he knows of the marriage of his loving parents-and what he can never know, as the only child who came between them. This is a memoir that seems to have been written more for Ford than for his readers, and it reveals as much about the writer as it does about his parents. Neither of these observations implies fault, only that the renowned novelist recognizes how the selection of detail and the limitations of memory inform a narrative and how the writer's craft inevitably makes the results as much about the writer as his subject. By any standards, this is a singular volume, peculiarly personal. There are two sections, one devoted to each parent: "Gone: Remembering My Father" and "My Mother, In Memory." The second was written three decades before the first, shortly after his mother's death. Ford's father had died much earlier, leaving his mother alone in the world to raise the son she loved, but not in the way she had loved his father. "He was her protector, but she was his," writes the author. "If it meant that I was further from the middle of things, I have lived my entire life thinking this is the proper way to be a family." There is some duplication in the material, the few incidents that seemed so significant in the life of each of his parents, recollected separately across a gap of three decades. There is also conjecture, as Ford imagines the lives of each before they met each other-and their life together before they had the child who would change everything. "For all this to be a blissful life," writes the author, "love is certainly required, and a willingness-on my part-to fill some things in and deflect others." A subtle, careful testament to devotion and a son's love for his.

Gebundene Ausgabe. Zustand: Gut. Gebraucht - Gut Gu - Beschädigungen, Verschmutzungen, ungelesenes Mängelexemplar, gestempelt - Mit siebzehn verliebt sich Edna Akin aus Arkansas in Parker Ford, einen Jungen vom Land mit den durchscheinend hellblauen Ford-Augen. Sie heiraten und beginnen ein Nomadenleben in den Südstaaten der USA - Parker arbeitet als Handlungsreisender. Die 30er Jahre ziehen vorbei wie ein langes Wochenende, ungezählte Meilen, Cocktails, Hotelzimmer: New Orleans, Texarcana, Memphis. Die Geborgenheit, die es in ihrer Welt, dem Amerika der frühen Ford-Romane, nicht gibt, finden sie beieinander. Dann kommt ein einziges spätes Kind zur Welt - und alles ändert sich. 'Zwischen ihnen' ist Richard Fords intimstes Buch: ein literarisches Memoir über seine Eltern und ein atmosphärisches Porträt des Lebens in den USA Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts.
