Art of Fielding
The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach. “Very tender story of several students (two of whom are on the college baseball team), a college president, and his daughter. All have their own problems and concerns, and each is sympathetic in his/her own way. Intelligent and well-written.” And: “May this author write more! Prep school must-read.” From my friend’s Goodreads review: “The characters are not perfectly written, but they are very engaging. Harbach does a good job of giving us several different narrators who all have their own distinct voice, even if some are better fleshed out than others. The baseball is interwoven throughout the book but not hard to follow for those not well versed in the sport. There is a driving plot that keeps you turning the pages… There is a lot to enjoy here.”
