Summary:
From the Pulitzer Prizewinning author of American Pastorala richly imagined novel featuring Americas only homeless big-league baseball team in history delivers shameless comic extravaganceRoth gleefully exploits our readiness to let baseball stand for America itselfThe New York Times.
Gil Gamesh, the only pitcher who ever literally tried to kill the umpire. The ex-con first baseman, John Baal, The Babe Ruth of the Big House, who never hit a home run sober. If youve never heard of themor of the homeless baseball team the Ruppert Mundysits because of the Communist plot, and the capitalist scandal, that expunged the entire Patriot League from baseball memory.
In this ribald, wickedly satiric novel, Roth turns baseballs status as national pastime and myth into an occasion for unfettered picaresque farce, replete with heroism and perfidy, ebullient wordplay and a cast of characters that includes the House Un-American Activities Committee.
