Recenzii
An extraordinary piece of writing... The act of writing those loves, has been if anything, Ford suggests, less poignant for him than a "source of immense exhilaration." His readers, those with parents, and those without them, will feel that too
Full of gentle humour and a sense of lives lived well ... His great effection for his parents is everywhere evident ... In this superbly written account, Ford pieces together fragments of their lives, and brings them wonderfully to life
The US novelist and short story writer offers a touching recollection that is also a vivid portrait of mid-20th-century American life
One of America's most gifted human anthropologists ... Their manners and affections, pleasures and frustrations take on weight through unsentimental but tender renderings ... So what are we left with in the end ...through ellipses, expressions of love, and the very fact of his biographical endeavour, is a testament to the art of writing
An exercise in love and economy ... Colourful, thoughtful and restrained, it points to all the gaps in parents' lives that children know nothing of, and never think to ask. Ostensibly spartan, Between Them is almost as rich in what you are left to read between the lines as in what is actually set in print
Through anecdotes and the odd photograph, he builds a portrait of mid-century America
Stylish, elegiac and funny . A marvellous writer
The enjoyment of reading Richard Ford is about the exquisite pleasure of acquisition of language . The harder you look, the sadder and funnier it gets
Ford is possessed of a writer's greatest gifts ... Pure vocal grace, quiet humor, precise and calm observation ... Ford's language is of the cracked, open spaces and their corresponding places within
A true master of the modern American novel
A richly textured, rolling and poetic voice
What is depicted is exactly what is seen, a peculiar miracle of transcription and feeling . The superb sense of life, of observation and feeling, enacted on every page
Ford makes you ponder so deeply the way that none of us can fathom life's inherent strangeness
As a narrator of apparently inconsequential lives, he never assumes the rights of a novelist to know what's beneath the surface . His observations are so acute that this brief book is worth dozens of longer ones by writers who notice less
In the much anticipated memoir, the author of The Sportswriter pays tribute to his parents
The writer Richard Ford's great talent is capturing American lives of a kind of quiet desperation . He is a master at the comedy and tragedies of family life . Heartfelt, evocative, but evasive portrait of his mother and father
A beautiful, very profound work . It was a book he wanted to write and while the prose has his singular languid ease, humanity and wry humour, there is also poignancy and pathos. By writing about his parents he has immortalised two people whose lives otherwise would have gone unnoticed "like most people" and he has also provided an extraordinary insight in the making of one of the world's finest living writers . His genius lies in the slow, effortlessly long sentences, the rhythmic prose and the curiosity which drives his fiction, along with his distinctive first-person voice - conversational, confiding, unrelenting. Most of all, it appears effortless
The acclaimed author of the Frank Bascombe series turns his novelist's eye to the lives of his own parents. Through two distinct portraits, Ford explores separation within a family ... a moving and strangely disturbing book
A brilliant, affecting meditation on filial love and loss . Rendered, as ever, in the stoic Southern cadences of Ford's prose
Ford's short memoir about his parents . is imaginatively generous, striking in its eloquence, and rare for its lack of narcissism. Though very different from Ford's famous Frank Bascombe novels, it is emblematic of his project there, which deals with "the normal, applauseless life of us all"
I'll be taking Richard Ford's memoir Between Them: Remembering My Parents in my own book bag in preparation for interviewing the author at the Edinburgh book festival
An evocative portrait
There's ruthless intimacy in Richard Ford's Between Them, a pared, novella-length memoir of his ordinary, decent, loving mother and father written 30 years apart

Textul de pe ultima copertă
How is it that we come to consider our parents as people with rich and intense lives that include but also exclude us? Richard Ford’s parents—Edna, a feisty, pretty Catholic-school girl with a difficult past; and Parker, a sweet-natured, soft-spoken traveling salesman—were rural Arkansans born at the turn of the twentieth century. Married in 1928, they lived “alone together,” traveling throughout the south. Eventually they had one child, born late, in 1944.
For Ford, the questions of what his parents dreamed of become a striking portrait of American life in the mid-century. Between Them is his vivid image of where his life began and where his parents’ lives found their greatest satisfaction.
Bringing his celebrated candor, wit, and intelligence to this most intimate and mysterious of landscapes—our parents’ lives—the award-winning storyteller and creator of the iconic Frank Bascombe delivers an unforgettable exploration of memory, intimacy, and love.
