Independence Day. Ford R.

This novel, which received the Pulitzer Prize and the Faulkner Prize, is one of the most important in modern American and world literature. The existential chronicle, almost permanent, about several days from the life of an ordinary person, whose share has fallen both ordinary happiness and ordinary grief and who is trying to understand himself, the structure of its existence, to comprehend the meaning of their own being and being of the country. Here the cynical irony goes hand in hand with a trembling and almost naive hope. Frank Basquebus steps in life that she is a stretched rope, and he is an inept cabled. He goes to the endless and at the same time rapid Odyssey, ridiculous and bitter, in order to cleanse his consciousness from the layers of empty, to get to the very core of himself. Richard Ford created an amazing force image that causes sympathy, rejection, rage, sympathy, contempt and admiration. "Independence Day" is a great novel of our time.
