Rock Springs by Richard Ford

Rock Springs (Compactos Anagrama, #338) (Flamingo S.) (Vintage Contemporaries (Paperback)) (Harvill Panther S.)

by Richard Ford

The stories in this celebrated collection are about ordinary women, men and children. Unemployed, on the way back to prison, marriages in tatters, they confront their fates with hard-won optimism, humour and flashes of insight.

Two words: gold mine. Two more: loved this.

My absolute favorite was “Sweethearts,” followed close by “Communist” and the titular “Rock Springs.”
