The third installment in Richard Ford's epic after The Sportswriter and Independence Day. The time: Fall of 2000; the presidential election is hanging in the balance and Thanksgiving is looming with all its own perils, from the post-nuclear family get-together to explosions that will leave readers gasping. The place: The Jersey shore, where Frank Bascombe now plies his trade as a realtor. THE LAY OF THE LAND is by far the strongest and most engaging of these Bascombe novels.

A sportswriter and a real estate agent, husband and father - Frank Bascombe has been many things to many people. His uncertain youth behind him, we follow him through three days during the autumn of 2000, when his trade as a realtor on the Jersey Shore is thriving. But as a presidential election hangs in the balance, and a postnuclear-family Thanksgiving looms before him, Frank discovers that what he terms “ the Permanent Period” is fraught with unforeseen perils. An astonishing meditation on America today and filled with brilliant insights, The Lay of the Land is a magnificent achievement from one of the most celebrated chroniclers of our time.
