Memories of the Ford Administration

When a history professor - Alfred Clayton, the hero of John Updike's fifteenth novel - is asked to record his impressions of the Ford Administration, he recalls a turbulent piece of personal history as well: his unfinished book on 19th-century president James Buchanan.

Cand un profesor de istorie - Alfred Clayton, eroul celui de-al cincisprezecelea roman al lui John Updike - este rugat sa-si consemneze impresiile despre Administratia Ford, acesta isi aminteste si de o parte turbulenta a istoriei sale personale: cartea sa neterminata despre presedintele secolului al XIX-lea, James Buchanan.
