Praise

Powerful…. as gripping as it is affecting…. Ford has galvanized his reputation as one of his generation’s most eloquent voices.” —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

“An extraordinary epic…. nothing less than the story of the twentieth century itself.” —The Times

“Frank Bascombe has earned a place beside Willy Loman and Harry Angstrom in our literary landscape … with a wry wit and a fin de siècle wisdom that is very much his own.” —The New York Times Book Review

“Each flash of magical dialogue, every rumination a wild surprise…. Independence Day is a confirmation of a talent as strong and varied as American fiction has to offer.” —The New York Review of Books

“A Babe Ruth of novelists…. One of the finest curators of the great American living museum.” —The Washington Post Book World
