  • "In this new collection of stories Richard Ford covers the themes of commitment, marriage, responsibility, boredom and detachment."
  • "One of the most celebrated and unflinching chroniclers of modern life now explores, in this masterful collection of short stories, the grand theme of intimacy, love, and their failures. With remarkable insight and candor, Richard Ford examines liaisons in and out and to the sides of marriage. An illicit visit to the Grand Canyon reveals a vastness even more profound. A couple weekending in Maine try to recapture the ardor that has disappeared from their life together. And on a spring evening, a young wife tells her husband of her affair with the host of the dinner party they're about to join. The rigorous intensity Ford brings to these vivid, unforgettable dramas marks this as his most powerfully arresting book to date'confirming the judgment of the New York Times Book Review that "nobody now writing looks more like an American classic." From the Trade Paperback edition."

  • "Explore le malaise qui rend si difficile le fait d'être ensemble, avec des personnages qui s'interrogent sur leur responsabilité face à cette réalité cruelle."
  • "Mit scharfer Beobachtungsgabe zeigt Richard Ford Momentaufnahmen von Affären verheirateter Männer und Frauen, die wenig heldenhaft, dafür aber umso menschlicher auf ihrer Suche nach Glück porträtiert werden. Da ist beispielsweise eine Steuerberaterin, die ihren Geliebten mit ihrem Ehemann (einem angeheuerten Schauspieler) konfrontiert, um eine Entscheidung über ihre Beziehung zu erzwingen. Richard Ford beweist in diesen zehn Erzählungen einmal mehr seine Fähigkeit, die Figuren psychologisch auszuleuchten und die Vielschichtigkeit menschlicher Gefühle offen zu legen."
