"Frank contemplates his life while the 2000 presidential election plays out and Thanksgiving looms on the horizon."@en
"Frank Bascombe's story resumes in the fall of 2000, with the presidential election still hanging in the balance and Thanksgiving looming before him with all the perils of a post-nuclear family get- together. He's now plying his trade as a realtor on the Jersey shore and contending with health, marital, and familial issues that have his full attention: 'all the ways that life seems like life at age 55 strewn around me like poppies.'"@en
"Frank Bascombe er nu midaldrende og faldet til ro i sin ejendomsmæglervirksomhed. Han har nået en slags optimistisk pragmatisme, nu hvor færre ting kan gå galt, men da hans 2. kone pludselig forlader ham, opdager han, at livet er ligeså ambivalent, usikkert og fuldt af muligheder som altid."
"In "The Lay of the Land," the lethargic third installment of Frank?s story (it follows "The Sportswriter," published in 1986, and the 1995 sequel "Independence Day"), Mr. Ford gives us three days in his hero?s life in New Jersey. It is Thanksgiving week in the year 2000, as the contested presidential election drags on, and the boom years of the 90?s are beginning to turn a corner. Frank has been treated for prostate cancer, his second wife has unexpectedly left him for her first husband, and at the age of 55, he spends a lot of time thinking about all the things he has never done? from hiking the Appalachian Trail to learning German to sleeping with a movie star. He spends even more time thinking up strategies for coping? ways to accommodate and negotiate the world without inflicting further damage on his already fragile sense of self."
