  • "'Der Sportreporter', ein Klassiker der modernen Literatur der USA, bildet zusammen mit 'Unabhängigkeitstag' und 'Die Lage des Landes' Richard Fords grosse Romantrilogie um Frank Bascombe, einen netten, vernünftigen Amerikaner. Frank hat sich vor einigen Jahren von seiner Frau getrennt, arbeitet als Sportreporter und ist das, was man für gewöhnlich einen 'Durchschnittstypen' nennt. Doch eine Kette von dramatischen Ereignissen stört ihn jäh in der Ruhe der Mittelmässigkeit: Er reist nach Detroit, um ein Interview mit einem an den Rollstuhl gefesselten Ex-Footballstar zu führen, anschliessend erfährt er vom Selbstmord seines Freundes Walter, und es kommt zum Bruch zwischen ihm und seiner Freundin Vicky."
