Su questo libro

Recensione:

"Klinkowitz combines astute observations and analyses with renderings as leisurely and graceful as the game itself... Short Season stands out as a vivid evocation of a rich and colorful part of the summer game, and deserves a spot on the roster of first-rate baseball books." -- Washington Post

"I have known Jerry Klinkowitz only as one of this country's most interesting and responsible literary critics. It comes as a complete surprise that he writes first-rate baseball stories as well. Is there a chance that he is the illegitimate child of Ring Lardner and Edmund Wilson's sister?" -- Kurt Vonnegut

L'autore:

Jerry Klinkowitz is executive director of the Waterloo Indians, a farm team of the Cleveland Indians. In the off-season, he teaches at the University of Northern Iowa and has published twenty books of literary and cultural criticism.
