An anthology of baseball fiction, mainly short stories, although a few novel excerpts are included. I love good baseball writing, and this is a fine collection of stories, most of which were new to me. Among the familiar authors here are Ring Lardner, James Thurber, Chaim Potok, Damon Runyan, Philip Roth, Paul Gallico, John Sayles, Mordechai Richler, Irwin Shaw, P.G. Wodehouse and Bernard Malamud. There are stories that display the game's ethics, stories of humor and wit, coming-of-age stories, and even a couple that I think could fairly be considered science fiction. There are no clunkers and quite a few gems. An aptly named collection of fine writing, which just happens to be about baseball. The only other sport I've seen that rivals the wealth of great baseball writing is golf. Go figure. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Baseball: no other sport can claim its drama, its rhythms-or as many writers among its fans. These twenty-seven selections are by authors ranging from Lardner to Malamud. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
