Book Description:

In these ten stories, Ford mines literary gold from the wind-scrubbed landscape of the American West--and from the guarded hopes and gnawing loneliness of the people who live there. Rock Springs is a masterpiece of taut narration, cleanly chiseled prose, and empathy so generous that it feels like a kind of grace.

"Beautifully imagined and crafted stories, by turns heartrending and wickedly funny; and just plain wicked. Richard Ford is a born storyteller with an inimitable lyric voice, and Rock Springs is the very poetry of realism."--Joyce Carol Oates

JoAnn G. (bookwoman28) from PHOENIX, AZ wrote on 1/15/2007...

'A remarkable collection...The style is so plainspoken that the characters emotions seem like ghosts lurking in the backgrounNd. The result is a thrilling narrative power...These are disquieting, fearless, heart-stopping stories.' (Newsday)
