Description

A middle-aged accountant presides passionately over a fantasy baseball league in a “flagrantly funny” novel from the award-winning author of Huck Out West (The New York Times). J. Henry Waugh is not particularly happy in his job, but after the workday he can go home to the ballgame. With each toss of the dice, the balls and strikes, hits and runs are decided—and the tabletop players, and the individual personalities he perceives in them, seem more real and immerse him more deeply. But when a promising rookie pitcher pitches a perfect game, filling Henry with pride and excitement—and soon afterward is killed by a beanball (an “Extraordinary Occurrence” according to the probability chart)—Henry is shattered, and his life is affected in unimaginable ways, in this blackly comic and philosophical novel that veers wildly between fantasy and reality and delves into the notions of chance and power. “[A] baseball novel which isn’t really altogether about baseball . . . funny surprises, sad moments, and catchy ideas.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “One of the most original and exciting writers around. Every new book from him is great news.” —McSweeney’s “Not to read it because you don’t like baseball is like not reading Balzac because you don’t like boardinghouses.” —The New York Times Book Review
