This is a condition that Frank himself aspires to. But at thirty-eight, he suffers from incurable dreaminess, occasional pounding of the heart, and the not-too-distant losses of a career, a son, and a marriage. In the course of the Easter week in which Ford's moving novel transpires, Bascombe will end up losing the remnants of his familiar life, though with his spirits soaring.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Sportswriter: Bascombe Trilogy (1) | Richard Ford | Paperback | 9780679762102 | Used: Very Good | Fiction 1672715","offer_id":50892641435906,"sku":"1672715","price":34.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/912wvhAvsEL_743b381f-1755-4df5-ae94-6af6ae955876.jpg?v=1793132406","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/sportswriter-bascombe-trilogy-2","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
