A landmark new collection of stories from Richard Ford that showcases his brilliance, sensitivity, and trademark wit and candor!
In Sorry for Your Trouble, Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times best-selling author Richard Ford enacts a stunning meditation on memory, love, and loss.
“Displaced” returns us to a young man’s Mississippi adolescence, and to a shocking encounter with a young Irish immigrant who recklessly tries to solace the narrator’s sorrow after his father’s death.
“Driving Up” follows an American woman’s late-in-life journey to Canada to bid good-bye to a lost love now facing the end of this life.
“The Run of Yourself”, a novella, sees a New Orleans lawyer navigating the difficulties of living beyond his Irish wife’s death.
And “Nothing to Declare” follows a man and a woman’s chance re-meeting in the New Orleans French Quarter, after 20 years, and their discovery of what’s left of love for them.
Typically rich with Ford’s emotional lucidity and lyrical precision, Sorry for Your Trouble is a memorable collection from one of our greatest writers.

Dour But Introspective

His World isn’t filled with Tulips and Butterflies but with the real pressures Twenty-First America visits upon all of us. Sorry for Your Trouble treats relationships, as they succeed and fail, sometimes through Death, sometimes through the flaws of the Couples. His scenarios are painfully convincing and thought-provoking but still satisfying to the Reader. Four Stars.
Beautifully conceived collection

For the most part his attempts are laughably bad and distract from the stories. He has probably never met an Irish person in the flesh - this would not normally be problematic but his accents need a little work.
Great writing but the Irish accents?
