The Sportswriter by Richard Ford

At dawn on Good Friday every year, Frank Bascombe and his wife meet to pay their respects at the grave of their firstborn. As a sportswriter, Frank makes his living studying people, men mostly, who live entirely within themselves. This is a condition that Frank himself aspires to. This year Franks plans to spend the Easter weekend with a new girlfriend will on assignment for his magazine. What should have been an idyllic adventure becomes a succession of calamities which extinguish almost all of the carefully nourished equilibrium of a man grappling with the failure of love and the death of his son.
