A 1997 New York Times Notable Book of the Year. Ford's second collection of short fiction, of which The Womanizer first appeared in Granta in 1992, and Jealous the same year in The New Yorker. The consolations and complications that prevail in matters of the heart in settings ranging from the wilds of Montana to the cityscapes of Paris and Chicago.

Awarded the Pulitzer Prize and the PEN/Faulkner Award for Independence Day, the first book to win both prizes, in 2001 Ford received the PEN/Malamud Award for excellence in short fiction. "The best of Richard Ford's stories, like Chekhov's, are unanalyzable, the result of a miraculous alchemy of language, image, and psychological insight... a wonderful accomplishment." –The Globe and Mail
