すべての形式と版を表示
Frank Bascombe has a younger girlfriend and a job as a sportswriter. To many men of his age, thirty-eight, this would be a cause for optimism, yet Frank feels the pull of his inner despair and especially of his recent losses - his preferred career has ended, his wife has divorced him, and a tragic accident took his elder son. In the course of this Easter weekend, Frank will lose all the remnants of his familiar life, though he will emerge heroic with spirits soaring. This is a magnificent novel that propelled Richard Ford into the first rank of American writers.

5つ星のうち5.0 Brilliant, deflating, similar to Sally Rooney
2024年1月5日に英国でレビュー済み

This was so inspiring at times but, even so, I had to give up about 60% of the way through, as I found it too relentlessly depressing. The examination that goes on about the dialogues and social occasions reminds me of the brilliant hand of Sally Rooney. Like him, she underlays the story with a feeling of gloom, and there was just too much of that here for me to deal with. (I would not be surprised to discover that they both suffer from depression.) His character, Frank Bascombe, seems to me to be depressed, and the analysis of him is therefore important and enlightening. After his young son died, he developed a "dreaminess" (lack of contact with the world that I would see as a sign of depression), and that contributed to infidelity and then divorce. All this happens early on in the book. As an emotionally challenged first person narrator, Bascombe does a great job of telling a fascinating story for a while — ripping apart the hypocrisies we create for ourselves as a crutch to get by. The pretend friendships between neighbours, the uplifting article he prepares to conjure up from an antagonistic interview....My feeling was that it was just getting too painful for me at the 60% stage, and I wondered if the meandering style would lead somewhere.

5つ星のうち4.0 Postmoderno e riflessivo
2013年12月9日にイタリアでレビュー済み

Dopo un inizio promettente, il protagonista non è riuscito a scrivere un romanzo e ha ripiegato prima sull’insegnamento, poi le cronache sportive. Il perno attorno a cui ruota la narrazione è la mancanza di motivazioni – per proseguire la passione per la scrittura, tenere insieme un matrimonio, continuare una vita dopo la perdita di un figlio, intraprendere una nuova relazione sentimentale. L’esistenza di Frank si trascina senza particolare entusiasmo, analogamente alla sua ex moglie, un membro dell’informale “Club degli scapoli” di cui Frank sembra far parte, e uno sportivo reso paraplegico da un incidente.

L’autore ci fa viaggiare continuamente – in aereo, treno o auto – perché sembra che il miglior modo per sopravvivere sia il non stare mai fermi (come nel succitato romanzo di Jay McInerney ma senza lo sballo frenetico). Ford ci fa sedere accanto le manie statunitensi dell’ultimo mezzo secolo, tra cataloghi come divertissement e veggenti come psicoterapeuti. Il viaggio principale, comunque, è fornito dalle riflessioni del protagonista, di cui l’autore si serve per esprimere due logiche opposte: Frank, infatti, non rivela mai a voce alta i propri pensieri ma preferisce mentire, forse perché non è più motivato a essere sincero.

5つ星のうち5.0 This is part of a major trilogy from a wonderful writer

WHen I read a Richard Ford book, I do so with a notebook by my side, jotting down questions and ideas to explore. He is THAT kind of writer, someone who creates believable characters who often ask the questions so many of us do,from how to find the ephemeral high points in life to other sorts of musings, from the philosophical to the more banal. Nothing is beyond his reach - or observational skills. He is the sort of writer you could read before going to a party, because he'd provide plenty of material for discussion (and I'm not talking about discussing the book). He is a writer who makes readers THINK about their world, the vagaries of life and the redeeming qualities in people who may seem uninteresting...at first.

Personally, I found The Sportwriter to be the weakest of the three books in the series which includes Independence Day and The Lay of the Land. I'm not sure it would be best to start with this novel, although it IS the beginning point in exploring one man's character, a man who is alienated from himself and from other people, a man who will undergo a lot of change in the next two books (Independence Day, by the way, won a Pulitzer prize and mesmerized me).

Anyway, I had a hard time getting into the Sportswriter and even found the guy to be very irritating for a good part of the novel, disappointing his wife (who becomes his ex), keeping his distance from everyone, including members of a group called The Divorced Mens Club. Perhaps men will relate to this novel, however. Perhaps it is a clearer reflection of the male psyche than I realize.

On the positive side, as the novel progress, Frank Bascombe becomes more and more compelling , especially after a death that shocks him, the death of a guy he barely knew.

This may be the hardest of the three books in this trilogy for you to stick with, but it is well worth the effort because the other two will absolutely blow you away. As an exploration of the evolution and changes in a man's life over the course of many years, I've found few writers to equal Ford. I look forward eagerly to every one of his books which comes out.

I found myself not liking the protagonist Frank Bascombe very much. I struggled with his narcissism, his complete unconscious acceptance of his life of privilege and his objectification of women. But at the same time I found compassion for his loss and related very much to the 'dreaminess' that disconnects him from full emotional commitment to his life.

This is an ambitious, beautifully written and crafted work, very engaging and moving. I am pleased I finally got around to reading it. I will take a breath though before following on with the other novels, as Frank does piss me off a bit.
