5.0 out of 5 stars A Multitude of Sins, 20 Sep 2002
By sarah hill (Hereford, UK) - See all my reviews
I am a fan of short stories, and this collection rates among the very best. Here, his theme is - as always - relationships, and in particular, people in unusual places with the 'wrong' person, starting, confessing to, or ending affairs. For years I resisted reading Ford's The Sportswriter, thinking it was a 'man's book'. Wrong. Richard Ford is an, emotional poetic novelist and a glittering short story writer. He deals marvellously accurately with human intimacy - or its absence - and describes faultlessly the fumbling, weak, but essentially optimistic beings we all recognise ourselves to be.

4.0 out of 5 stars Men , Women and their Affairs : Ten Short Stories, 12 Jan 2003
Richard Ford gives a lesson in the art of writing the short story. The common theme of this collection is adultery and its consequences for the unfaithful party, their wronged spouse and their lover. Through his characters Ford explores how humans love, cheat, squirm, regret and reconcile in their (generally unsatisfied) search for happiness. In each story Ford skilfully manages to create a detailed sense of time, place and character. We recognize each characters' faults but still sympathize with them because we know that Ford is describing the human condition and its necessary failings and compromises. My favourite story is 'Puppy' where a married couple find a puppy abandoned in their back yard. Their fruitless attempts to find its owner come to symbolize the couple's failure to deal with the effects of the wife's past indiscretions.
