  • It's taken me almost 2 weeks to read 60 pages. While well written it's hard for me to keep plugging through this book. I wanted to read all of the Frank Bascombe series but I don't think that's going to happen.

    

    Is this helpful?

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 soaring.
