As a sportswriter, Frank Bascombe makes his living studying people-men, mostly-who live entirely within themselves. In the course of the Easter week in which Ford's moving novel transpires, Bascombe will end up losing the remnants of his familiar life, though with his spirits soaring. / Frank Bascombe tiene treinta y ocho años y un magnífico porvenir como escritor a sus espaldas. Hace tiempo disfrutó de un breve instante de gloria, tras la publicación de un libro de cuentos, pero luego abandonó la literatura. Ahora escribe sobre deportes, lo que le ha permitido aprender una lección: «En la vida no hay temas trascendentales. Las cosas suceden y luego se acaban, y eso es todo.» Lección que podría aplicarse a su fugaz fama como escritor, a su breve matrimonio o a la corta vida de su hijo mayor, que murió a los nueve años. ¿Cual es el drama que ha provocado el fracaso de su matrimonio? ¿Por qué ha renunciado a la literatura? ¿Qué le anima, sino una «moral de la apatía», un vivir la vida de instante en instante? Un implacable testimonio de los desencantos inevitables, de la corrosión de las ambiciones.
