<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Originally published: New York: Atlantic Monthly Press, 1990.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Now a Major Motion Picture starring Carey Mulligan and Jake Gyllenhaal <p>Full of prose that makes the reader shiver, <i>Wildlife</i> is a rich and readable story...It leaves a sense of hope, a conviction that life is worth living.--<i>Chicago Sun-Times</i></b> <p>When Joe Brinson was sixteen, his father moved the family to Great Falls, Montana, the setting for this harrowing, transfixing novel by the acclaimed author of <i>Rock Springs</i>. Filled with an abiding sense of love and family, and of the forces that test them to the breaking point, <i>Wildlife</i>--first published by Atlantic Monthly Press in 1990 and now reissued as a Grove Press paperback--is a book whose spare poetry and expansive vision established it as an American classic.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Ford brings the early Hemingway to mind. Not many writers can survive the comparison. Ford can. <i>Wildlife</i> has a look of permanence about it." <b><i>--Newsweek</b></i> <p>"A stylistic grace that goes to the heart of its subject . . . shrewdly focused . . . powerful and haunting." <b><i>--The Boston Globe</b></i> <p>"This intense work confirms Richard Ford as one of the most formidable writers of his generation." <b><i>--The Baltimore Sun</b></i> <p>"Shot through with nuance and minute observation . . . It may even assume the weight of myth." <b><i>--The New York Times Book Review</b></i> <p>"Richard Ford is one of the best writers and <i>Wildlife</i> is his best novel. . . . This is, in all likelihood, the finest novel of coming of age since <i>The Catcher in the Rye</i>." <b><i>--The Star-Ledger</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>RICHARD FORD is the author of six novels and three collections of stories. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and the PEN/Faulkner Award for <i>Independence Day</i>, the first book to win both prizes. In 2001 he received the PEN/Malamud Award for excellence in short fiction.
