Vintage Ford — Richard Ford

An ideal introduction to the "Babe Ruth of novelists" (The Washington Post Book World) and the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Independence Day and The Sportswriter. • “One of the country's best writers…. No one looks harder at contemporary American life, sees more, or expresses it with such hushed, deliberate care.” -- San Francisco Chronicle

Richard Ford is the first writer to receive both the Pulitzer Prize and the PEN/Faulkner Award for a single book, his 1995 novel Independence Day.

Vintage Ford includes an excerpt from that novel, along with the stories “Communist,” and “Rock Springs” from his collection Rock Springs; “Reunion,” and “Calling,” from A Multitude of Sins, which won him the 2001 PEN/Malamud Award; “The Womanizer,” from Women with Men.

Also included, for the first time in book form, the memoir, “My Mother, in Memory.”

Vintage Readers are a perfect introduction to some of the great modern writers presented in attractive, accessible paperback editions.
