About This Book
At Westish College, a small school on the shore of Lake Michigan,
baseball star Henry Skrimshander seems destined for big league stardom.
But when a routine throw goes disastrously off course, the fates of five
people are upended.
Henry's fight against self-doubt threatens to ruin his future. College
president Guert Affenlight, a longtime bachelor, has fallen unexpectedly
and helplessly in love. Owen Dunne, Henry's gay roommate and teammate,
becomes caught up in a dangerous affair. Mike Schwartz, the Harpooners'
team captain and Henry's best friend, realizes he has guided Henry's
career at the expense of his own. And Pella Affenlight, Guert's
daughter, returns to Westish after escaping an ill-fated marriage,
determined to start a new life.
As the season counts down to its climactic final game, these five are
forced to confront their deepest hopes, anxieties, and secrets. In the
process they forge new bonds, and help one another find their true
paths. Written with boundless intelligence and filled with the
tenderness of youth, The Art of Fielding is an expansive, warmhearted
novel about ambition and its limits, about family and friendship and
love, and about commitment--to oneself and to others.
Availability: Usually ships in 5~10 business days.
