It's 20 years since The Sportswriter introduced us to the ruminative Frank Bascombe and the peculiar joys of American suburbia. Its Pulitzer-winning sequel, Independence Day, placed him alongside Roth and Updike. As Frank returns, older and grumpier, his creator talks to Phil Hogan at his home in Maine about writing, ageing - and why his wife shot a novel with a .38
No one cares but I love Richard Ford (yes, in that way,too).
