A landmark new collection of stories from Richard Ford that showcases
his brilliance, sensitivity, and trademark wit and candor
In Sorry for Your Trouble, Pulitzer Prize winner and *New York
Times-*bestselling author Richard Ford enacts a stunning meditation on
memory, love and loss.
"Displaced" returns us to a young man's Mississippi adolescence, and to
a shocking encounter with a young Irish immigrant who recklessly tries
to solace the narrator's sorrow after his father's death. "Driving Up"
follows an American woman's late-in-life journey to Canada to bid
good-bye to a lost love now facing the end of this life. "The Run of
Yourself," a novella, sees a New Orleans lawyer navigating the
difficulties of living beyond his Irish wife's death. And "Nothing to
Declare" follows a man and a woman's chance re-meeting in the New
Orleans French Quarter, after twenty years, and their discovery of
what's left of love for them.
Typically rich with Ford's emotional lucidity and lyrical precision,
Sorry for Your Trouble is a memorable collection from one of our
greatest writers.
