Regresa un viejo conocido, con aires de despedida definitiva: Frank Bascombe protagoniza su quinto libro de la mano de Richard Ford. Conocimos a Frank Bascombe en el ya lejano 1986 con El periodista deportivo y sus andanzas nos han ido mostrando las transformaciones de Estados Unidos en las últimas décadas. Reaparece ahora con 74 años y arranca su relato con esta frase: Últimamente, me ha dado por pensar en la felicidad más que antes. A continuación, hace un repaso sucinto de su vida: perdió a un hijo, a sus padres y a algún otro ser querido; ha pasado por dos divorcios; ha sobrevivido a un cáncer; recibió un disparo en el pecho y ha superado huracanes y una depresión. Ahora, al final de su vida, se ve convertido en cuidador de su hijo Paul, que padece ELA y está recibiendo tratamiento en la Clínica Mayo de Rochester, Minnesota. Cuando le dan el alta, padre e hijo deciden emprender un viaje hasta el emblemático monte Rushmore, evocando otro que Frank hizo de niño, con sus progenitores.
