McGoohan 2 Jun 8:11am, 2 Jun 2024 54,134 posts	0 McGoohan Sorry. That Richard Ford loves him some alien mothership action - there's one in nearly every one of his books.
LindsD 2 Jun 8:19am, 2 Jun 2024 68,238 posts	0 LindsD That's why I love him ❤️
Chrisull 2 Jun 10:45am, 2 Jun 2024 21,582 posts	0 Chrisull Reading "Be Mine" the fifth in the Bascombe books, the full circle for his son Paul - it's pretty good so far, Ford can write, although I trip up on some of the American references. I stand by the American regionalism thing, if I was writing an undergrad essay, I've already stored up several examples of the landscape (or rather setting, there isn't a landscape as such) infusing the narrative.
Diogenes 2 Jun 11:11am, 2 Jun 2024 86,299 posts	0 Diogenes Apologies, Chris, I completely agree with your comment now, I was taking the word ‘landscape’ far too literally before.
