Richard Ford, author of the Frank Bascombe trilogy and other works, told Newsweek about his five most essential books.And addressed a couple of related issues:

A CLASSIC YOU REVISITED WITH DISAPPOINTMENT: "Ulysses" by James Joyce. Way too long, and unduly obscure. Should have stuck to short stories.
