It is fall, 2000 and Frank Bascombe has arrived at a state of optimistic pragmatism that he calls the Permanent Period of life. Epic mistakes have already been made, dreams downsized, and Frank reflects that now at least there are fewer opportunities left in life to get things wrong. But the tranquillity he anticipated is not to be. In fact, as Thanksgiving dinner with his children and first wife nears, the Permanent Period proves as full of possibility as life had ever been. In his third Frank Bascombe novel, Richard Ford contemplates the human character with wry precision. Graceful, expansive, filled with pathos but irresistibly funny, "The Lay of the Land" is a modern American masterpiece.

Etat : Muy bueno. : En el otoño de 2000, Frank Bascombe se encuentra en un estado de pragmatismo optimista que él llama el Período Permanente de la vida. Los errores épicos ya se han cometido, los sueños se han reducido y Frank reflexiona que ahora al menos hay menos oportunidades en la vida para equivocarse. Pero la tranquilidad que anticipó no se cumple. De hecho, a medida que se acerca la cena de Acción de Gracias con sus hijos y su primera esposa, el Período Permanente resulta tan lleno de posibilidades como la vida lo había sido siempre. En su tercera novela de Frank Bascombe, Richard Ford contempla el carácter humano con precisión irónica. Grácil, expansiva, llena de patetismo pero irresistiblemente divertida, The Lay of the Land es una obra maestra americana moderna.
