"How did you ever make a moment be worth as much as it could be, if you didn't reach?" Richard Ford's characters in A Multitude of Sins are masters of profundity, provoking divisive reactions among readers before leaving them gasping for air.
With an unparalleled affinity for capturing human complexity, Ford sweeps along sharp turns in relationships with careful guidance, never letting the protagonist be overtaken by the moment. Each of the ten anti-love stories is a testament to dirty realism, providing an intimacy rarely witnessed in modern literature.
Nick Medline sees both sides to an argument and both sides of a person. When not admiring The Brothers Karamazov, he tweets his general literary observations to @NJMedline.
