 | | Richard Ford: A life in writing | Monday 22 May 2017
Kings Place, London | | For four decades, the Pulitzer prize-winning novelist Richard Ford has been writing about suburban American life. He is best known for the Bascombe trilogy of novels and his everyman protagonist, the failed novelist turned sportswriter Frank Bascombe. This year, Ford returns with Between Them, a memoir about his parents and growing up in mid-century America. Born into a divided American South, in more recent years Ford has been an outspoken critic of US politics and the rise of Donald Trump. He will discuss his life in writing with Sarah Churchwell, professor of American literature at the University of London. | | | | | Thursday 16 February 2017
