Richard Ford
Reading from his new novel, The Lay of the Land.
"The Lay of the Land completes a trilogy that began with The Sportswriter and was followed by Independence Day. It returns Richard Ford after a decade to the voice of Frank Bascombe, a voice already among the indelible creations of contemporary fiction: rooted in New Jersey suburbia, elegiac for American dreams, shot through with quiet comedy and capable of sudden, wrenching pathos."    - The Observer
