A Multitude of Sins by Richard Ford (paperback)

In good condition paperback (few minor tears on pages, black marker on text block - foot edge as shown in last picture) book A Multitude of Sins by Richard Ford. 286 pages. ISBN 0-676-97415-5. Publication date: October 8 2002. Only a storyteller as agile as Richard Ford could produce stories so rich and diverse on a single grand theme -- love, intimacy and their dramatic failures. With felicity, humour, insight and painful candour, A Multitude of Sins exposes our failure to be sincere, empathetic, patient, honest, passionate -- ultimately, to be loving -- to those we desire or should merely care for. In this fine collection, human relations, indeed our entire sense of right and wrong, are put into vivid and unforgettable play. Richard Ford is an American novelist and short story writer. He has published five novels and two previous collections of stories. His novel Independence Day was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and, two weeks later, the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction, the first time the same book has won both prizes.
