Frank Bascombe Series4. Let Me Be Frank With You A twice-married novelist turned sportswriter Let Me Be Frank with You New Jersey real estate salesman, Frank has made words, words, words his business throughout his entire adult life. At fewer than pages, the book wraps up in the amount of time the previous two needed just to pick up a head of steam. Broken into four parts, it echoes the emotional disarray that now stalks its hero: The book is too narratively messy to function as a novel yet too coherent to quite work as a linked-story collection. As in the prior novels, a holiday is fast approaching — Christmas, this time. But the task list that gave the prior novels their narrative thrust — and their humor, because life denied Frank the order the task list signified — that list is absent. Frank is a man adrift, retired, doing only what the day demands of him without planning much in advance. Now, though, the dark humor is more elegiac. A thinner book, then, is relatively risky — Frank needs time to talk — and these more constrained narratives do at times feel more contrived. But the Let Me Be Frank with You Frank stubbornly persists. The old Frank is most potently on view in the third chapter, where he visits his first wife, Ann. So Frank is still full of it, Let Me Be Frank with You sure of himself to a fault, still bad with women — what makes that news? For all the finality that swirls around Let Me Be Frank with You, the book never takes on the garb of a valediction or a victory lap. And Ford reveals the chinks in the emotional armor, the loss of a half step, without delivering prose that reflects the same flaws. But he means it this time. More than the old lug is willing to admit. Most Recent. Richard Ford - Wikipedia Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. Want to Read saving…. Want to Read Currently Reading Read.

He is, frankly, fully qualified now to claim his twilight years. There is a consistent pain emanating from his prostate, a reminder of a recent bout of cancer. His footing on a sandy beach or on an icy sidewalk is now something potentially treacherous. He is decommissioning words that he finds to be unnecessary or imprecise in expressing himself. He has decided that five friends is plenty and Let Me Be Frank with You of those five is himself. He is trying to keep his life simple. His ex-wife Ann has moved back to Haddam. She is living in a high end assisted living facility. It seems one of her ex-husbands provided her with a substantial portfolio. Frank, out of some form of obligation that makes no sense even to himself, goes to see her once a month, muses Let Me Be Frank with You her fruit pictures that make him uncomfortable with visions of vaginas, and waits to see how many expertly thrust daggers she manages to squeeze between his ribs. She never goes for the kill, but Let Me Be Frank with You a cat wounds him enough that it is impossible for him to escape. In my view, this self plausibly represents one-half of the charmed-union-of-good-souls every marriage promises to convene but mostly fails toas was true of ours long ago. He used to sell real estate and now most of those high dollar beach homes that gave him a comfortable retirement, including one he owned, are now piles of expensive kindling. Real estate agents are being shot, as if they could anticipate a hurricane of the magnitude of Let Me Be Frank with You devastating the coast, so a vengeful ex-client is one more thing for Frank to be worried about. His wife Sally is counselling victims of the hurricane and finds her own state of mind is spiralling downward with the daily barrage of stories of loss. It is always hard to know now, with TV dictating the proper responses to any social situation, whether one is being stoic enough or too stoic or too emotional or too cold to any given circumstance. Like everything else even our responses to tragedy have become homogenized. It has more to do with living long enough to Let Me Be Frank with You that unfortunate things Sally thinks he needs to write a book, but he has been down that road before.

  • And When I Die and Other Prose
    And When I Die and Other Prose A Thesis Presented for the Master of Arts Degree The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Ralph Brandon Buckner III December 2010 Copyright © 2010 by Ralph Brandon Buckner III The Graduate School of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga All rights reserved. ii Dedication: The chapter of the novel, the short stories, and the essays would not have been possible without: My family, for their love and for their neuroses. And especially to my little sister, Shipley, I miss her very much. iii Abstract This thesis consists of the first chapter of my novel, two short stories, and two nonfiction essays. These pieces explore the tensions of family, love, and sexual orientation. The most prominent theme that connects each work is the main character’s search for control in his life. In the introduction to this thesis, I critically analyze three novels that focus on characters trying to regain stability in their lives after the death of someone close to them, and then I have discussed how these novels shaped my thesis in terms of theme, mood, and conflict. iv Table of Contents Introduction 1 First Chapter of And When I Die 11 Windup 24 Almost Here 37 Shattered Machine 53 Blackout 64 Bibliography 75 v Introduction In the introduction to my thesis, I will focus on three novels that portray protagonists coping with the aftermath of a loved one’s death and the reconstruction of their lives. These themes resonate with my thesis as my protagonists search for a sense of control in their lives, either with dealing with death, love, or relationships.

  • A Companion to American Literature]
    Journal of Transnational American Studies 10.2 (Winter/Spring 2019–20) Reprise Connecting a Different Reading Public: Compiling [A Companion to American Literature] Yu Jianhua Shanghai International Studies University At the end of 2015, ten years after the project was initiated, A Companion to American Literature was finally published by Commercial Press in Beijing. This was the first attempt in Chinese academia at compiling a large-scale handbook covering foreign literature published in China and in Chinese. The Companion provides readers in China with easy access to sources in order for them to gain a better understanding of three hundred years of American literature. It includes well-known authors and their major works, literary historians and critics, literary journals, awards, organizations and movements, as well as terminologies such as “tall tale” and “minstrel show” that are unique to American literature. We started in a small way in 2003 after a suggestion from Fudan University Press that we provide a handy companion on American literature for Chinese undergraduates and graduate students. After American Literature: Authors and Their Works was published in 2005, a more ambitious plan emerged for a new handbook that was to be more comprehensive, and one that was to be written in Chinese for Chinese readers. The proposition received financial support from the Shanghai International Studies University Research Fund, and later, The National Social Science Fund of China, with more than thirty professors and young scholars participating in the project. After decisions were made in regard to the general layout and entries, we set to work, each responsible for an area that he or she specialized in, and together we contributed to the project that came to fruition ten years later.
