Title: uninteresting frank bascombe...
Review: Richard Ford is a wonderful writer of memoirs, of relating historical FACTS. Excellent piece a while back about Ray Carver in NYorker. But put him in the novel-length fiction camp and his gas is prodigious. I don't care for his people, who whine, are propelled by nothing, driven by nothing, passionate about nothing, and try to say too much and act little.
