Rock Springs
A Literary Fiction Short Story Collection by Richard Ford
Subgenres:
- Short Stories,
- American West,
- Character-Driven
This book is for you if you're into...
- Wind-scrubbed Western settings with rough edges and raw honesty
- Stories of guarded hopes and loneliness that linger
- Characters on the run from their pasts and themselves
In these ten exquisite stories, Richard Ford explores the wind-scrubbed landscape of the American West and the guarded hopes and gnawing loneliness of the people who live there: a refugee from justice driving across Wyoming with his daughter and girlfriend in a stolen Mercedes; a boy watching his family dissolve in a night of tragicomic violence; and two men and a woman swapping hard-luck stories in a frontier bar as they try to sweeten their luck.
In the tradition of Raymond Carver, Rock Springs is a masterpiece of taut narration, cleanly chiseled prose, and empathy so generous that it feels like a kind of grace.
