In these ten exquisite stories, Richard Ford mines literary gold from the wind-scrubbed landscape of the American west. and from the guarded hopes and gnawing loneliness of the people who live there. A refugee from justice driving across Wyoming with his daughter, an unhappy girlfriend, and a stolen, cranberyy-colored Mercedes; a boy watching his family dissolve in a night of tragic violence; two men and a woman swapping hard luyck stories in a frontier bar as they try to sweeten their luck. Rock Springs is a masterpiece of taut narration, cleanly chiseled prose, and empathy so generous that it feels like a kind of grace.
