Rock Springs

In "Rock Springs," Richard Ford presents 10 compelling stories set against the evocative backdrop of the American West, originally published in 1987 and now reissued by Grove Press. Through vivid narratives, he explores themes of isolation and longing, featuring diverse characters such as a fugitive on the run, a boy witnessing familial disintegration, and patrons sharing their hard-luck tales in a frontier bar. With his masterful prose and deep empathy, Ford crafts a collection that resonates with both grit and grace.
