My wife belongs to a couple of book clubs. In one of them, once a year, the partners are invited to participate and are charged with suggesting a work of fiction or non-fiction.
For the upcoming couples get-together, I suggested The Resisters, a 2020 dystopian novel by Gish Jen. Unfortunately, it was not selected.Not baseball fans, I guess.
Here’s the intro to the entry I posted in 2021:
Got this one when it came out last year, but given my deep-seated reluctance to deal with baseball fiction, the surprise isn’t that it took so long to read (and write about) it, but that I got to it at all. I have given this hesitancy a name: I call it “The Art of Fielding Effect.”
Here’s the whole megilah.
