Independence Day (Ford novel)
''Independence Day'' is a 1995 novel by Richard Ford and the sequel to Ford's 1986 novel ''The Sportswriter''. This novel is the second in what is now a four part series. It was followed by ''The Lay of the Land'' (2006) and ''Let Me Be Frank With You'' (2014).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Frank and me: Richard Ford on his Bascombe novels )〕
''Independence Day'' won the Pulitzer Prize and PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction in 1996, becoming the first novel ever to win both awards in a single year.
The novel follows Frank Bascombe, a New Jersey real estate agent (and ex-sportwriter), through the titular holiday weekend as he visits his ex-wife, his troubled son, his current lover, the tenants of one of his properties, and some clients of his who have been having trouble finding the perfect house. It focuses in particular on a car trip with his son to the Basketball and Baseball halls of fame. It was well-reviewed, with Michiko Kakutani writing in ''The New York Times'' that "Mr. Ford has galvanized his reputation as one of his generation's most eloquent voices."〔(''The New York Times'' ), 13th June 1995.〕 Similar in form and common themes to John Updike's Rabbit novels, ''Independence Day'' is a pastoral meditation on a man reaching middle age and assessing his place in life and the greater world.
