Canada by Richard Ford
Richard Ford's weighty novel on a tragic American family, where the father (a former Air Force man and failed businessman) and mother (intelligent, cynical) decide to rob a bank in Montana. Point of view is their son Dell, who is taken to a remote prairie town in Sasketchawan and raised by neer do wells. Very moving, lengthy meditation on childhood, America, human fate and goodness.
