Endless highways, shabby motels and Donald Trump: In Richard Ford’s phenomenal novel “Valentine’s Day”, father and son travel a country that is becoming increasingly alien to itself.
It is the fifth book that Richard Ford has written about Frank Bascombe. We got to know the young Frank with the “Sports Reporter” and then followed his biography in “Independence Day”, “The State of the Country” and in the volume of stories “Frank”. This new novel is set to be the last in the series. But Clint Eastwood also makes a lot of recent films.
