Boris Ford Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

»Ford ist Erzählweltmeister.«Elke Heidenreich Frank Bascombe, eloquenter Chronist amerikanischer Zustände. Inzwischen ist er achtundsechzig Jahre alt und pensioniert. Mit seiner zweiten Ehefrau Sally lebt er in New Jersey: wohlständige Beschaulichkeit nach einem wechselvollen und auch tragischen Leben (Tod des Sohnes, Scheidung, berufliche Veränderungen und Prostatakrebs).

Frank wird vor der Kulisse zerstörter Häuser und ruinierter Existenzen von den großen Themen des Lebens erfasst – eindringlich und faszinierend unaufgeregt.
