	Richard Ford Speaker Profile at The Lavin Agency
		In his recent, groundbreaking study, Racial Culture, Ford stakes out a unique position, arguing on the one hand that attempts to legislate equality through the identification of cultural difference are counterproductive and harmful and stereotypical to individuals, while on the other recognizing that racial and cultural discrimination are real problems requiring sophisticated and progressive solutions.
		Richard Ford is a self-described "race conscious, left-wing critic of multiculturalism." His research has led him to the conclusion that race and culture are distinct, and that we should resist the temptation to conflate the two when discussing racism and discrimination.
		Confusing race with culture, he argues, does a disservice to both individuals and the community at large: individuals are often pushed into pre-scripted cultural roles based on their race, and the community loses out on the opportunity for people of different races, but similar cultural or political outlooks, to work together.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Books: A Multitude of Sins, by Richard Ford, Hardcover, 1ST US
		Ford's characters don't get away with their "sins," but punishment is usually befuddlement, men wondering what happened, women trying to imagine what will happen.
		Ford's lawyers, writers and artists are intelligent folks who frequently don't know their partners or themselves because they displace couple trouble onto some other subject, such as a stray dog in "Puppy." Although articulate, they complain about lacking language.
		Ford's stories are often a pleasure when found in our better magazines, but read one after the other, the stories in A Multitude of Sins have an assembly-line quality.

	The Lyceum Agency - Speakers - Richard Ford (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		In person, Ford’s voice is similarly impressive; his Mississippi beginnings yield a generosity of spirit, a compelling, honed eccentricity and an absolute abhorrence of pretension.
		While Ford’s tone never quite matched the blank, minimalism of many of his contemporaries, it took a decidedly different and seemingly out-of-step turn with this “transcendentlarge-spirited” (Boston Globe) novel.
		Ford’s achievement in Independence Day—and it is a considerable one—is to reclaim the strangeness of a country which he knows is at least as beguiling as it is wretched, and to rescue it from its worst own image.

		We asked Richard Ford to tell us a little more about what it's like to create (and share so much time with) a character like Frank.
		In the first of Ford's magisterial Bascombe novels (The Sportswriter, 1986), Frank staved off feelings of loss and regret with a dissociated "dreaminess." He graduated to a more conventional detachment during what he calls the "Existence Period" of the Pen/Faulkner and Pulitzer Prize–winning Independence Day (1995).
		Ford summons a remarkable voice for his protagonist—ruminant, jaunty, merciless, generous and painfully observant—building a dense narrative from Frank's improvisations, epiphanies and revisions.

		Before Richard Ford published Independence Day, the first novel to win both the Pulitzer Prize and the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction, he twice read its seven hundred pages aloud to his wife, correcting rhythmical miscues and shades of connotation.
		Ford: The stories are - in their affect, in their concision, in their conception, in how they get at what they get at - different.
		Ford: It was only important in this way: I knew that I had to affect a change in his life from the first time I knew him, and I had to find something he could be doing that was plausible and that wouldn't require him to go back to college or become somebody radically different.

		This is the first book-length examination of the fiction written by Richard Ford, who gained critical acclaim for The Sportswriter, the story of suburbanite Frank Bascombe's struggle to survive loneliness and great loss.
		Perspectives on Richard Ford is the first collection of essays to study the body of Ford's fiction.
		The nine essays demonstrate that Ford, like few other writers of his time, powerfully depicts what it feels like to live in the secular late-twentieth-century world, a dangerous and uncertain place where human relationships are impoverished and where human existence is often characterized by emptiness, solipsism, and, above all, by a sense of alienation.
