  The book is intended to describe America's longing for a more perfect union and its frustration in achieving the metaphorical level playing field where no external influence affects the ability of the players to compete fairly and where all players play by the same rules. It may not happen tomorrow but sometime in the future, science and technology will allow the playing field to level itself through dynamic transformative social epiphenomena. In addition, the book brings to light the pertinacious, fossilized racist assumptions which remain uncritically challenged in the unconscious id of the American psychosocial personality and exposes their power to subjugate and exploit world people. Letting the playing field level itself is obviously a complex phenomenon that requires a thorough understanding of America's political socioeconomic playing field. This book provides this understanding."

  Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize 
  A brilliant new work that returns Richard Ford to the hallowed territory that sealed his reputation as an American master: the world of Frank Bascombe, and the landscape of his celebrated novels The Sportswriter, the Pulitzer Prize and PEN/Faulkner winning Independence Day, and The Lay of the Land. 
  In his trio of world-acclaimed novels portraying the life of an entire American generation, Richard Ford has imagined one of the most indelible and widely discussed characters in modern literature, Frank Bascombe. Through Bascombe—protean, funny, profane, wise, often inappropriate—we’ve witnessed the aspirations, sorrows, longings, achievements and failings of an American life in the twilight of the twentieth century. 
  Now, in Let Me Be Frank with You, Ford reinvents Bascombe in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. In four richly luminous narratives, Bascombe (and Ford) attempts to reconcile, interpret and console a world undone by calamity. It is a moving and wondrous and extremely funny odyssey through the America we live in at this moment. Ford is here again working with the maturity and brilliance of a writer at the absolute height of his powers.
