This is a condition that Frank himself aspires to. But at thirty-eight, he suffers from incurable dreaminess, occasional pounding of the heart, and the not-too-distant losses of a career, a son, and a marriage. In the course of the Easter week in which Ford's moving novel transpires, Bascombe will end up losing the remnants of his familiar life, though with his spirits soaring.","brand":"OUATB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48531907051775,"sku":"*R0108466*","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0487\/5550\/7364\/files\/28037113482429.jpg?v=1778869597","url":"https:\/\/shop.onceuponatimebooks.com\/products\/sportswriter-the-1","provider":"Once Upon a Time Books AR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
