Rock Springs by Richard Ford [TRADE PAPERBACK / 1988] poul anderson of love and lossFIRST PAPERBACK PRINTING [1988] VINTAGE CONTEMPORARIES Book is in excellent condition. Perfect reading copy with a hint of tanning. In these ten stories, Ford mines literary gold from the wind scrubbed landscape of the American West and from the guarded hopes and gnawing loneliness of the people who live there. Rock Springs is a masterpiece of taut narration, cleanly chiseled prose, and empathy so generous that it feels like a kind of grace.
