Ford, Richard

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

Ford, Richard (1944– )

US novelist. A leading exponent of ‘dirty realism’, Ford's novels and stories often describe the bleak lives of lonely and damaged people who are constantly on the move – for Ford, a central part of the American psyche. He received the Pulitzer Prize for fiction for his novel Independence Day (1995).

He has written a series of novels with the character Frank Bascombe, a sports journalist. The Sportswriter (1986) takes place during an Easter weekend; its sequel, Independence Day, is set over a July 4th weekend. His works also include the collections of short stories Rock Springs (1987) and Women with Men (1997).
