Wildlife - Hardcover
Seen through the eyes of a 16 year-old boy, this is the story of a family drawn west by dreams of oil boom prosperity only to find themselves on the margins of society, confronting the loss of work and the dissolution of the family. By the author of "A Piece of My Heart".

Review:
‘A fine novel by a fine writer’ -- Salman Rushdie
‘Every sentence Ford writes, illuminates...His prose is strong, clear and satisfying, resonant with the bleak rhythms of unrewarded lives’ -- Sunday Times
‘Ford is a masterful writer’ -- Raymond Carver
‘Ford’s book observes the human animal with friendship, understanding, and an almost clinical detachment’ -- Independent on Sunday
‘This is proper storytelling, lean and taut. And it is real, grown-up life. Ford captures perfectly the loneliness that can only be had in families’ -- New Statesman

Richard Ford was born in Jackson, Mississippi, in 1944. He has published five novels and two previous collections of stories. His novel Independence Day was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, and, two weeks later, the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction, the first time the same book had won both prizes.
