Book Synopsis The Universal Baseball Association, Inc. by : Robert Coover
Download or read book The Universal Baseball Association, Inc. written by Robert Coover. This book was released on 2015-07-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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

Book Synopsis Baseball as a Road to God by : John Sexton
Download or read book Baseball as a Road to God written by John Sexton. This book was released on 2013-03-07. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The president of New York University offers a love letter to America’s most beloved sport and a tribute to its underlying spirituality. For more than a decade, John Sexton has taught a wildly popular New York University course about two seemingly very different things: religion and baseball. Yet Sexton argues that one is actually a pathway to the other. Baseball as a Road to God is about touching that something that lies beyond logical understanding. Sexton illuminates the surprisingly large number of mutual concepts shared between baseball and religion: faith, doubt, conversion, miracles, and even sacredness among many others. Structured like a game and filled with riveting accounts of baseball’s most historic moments, Baseball as Road to God will enthrall baseball fans whatever their religious beliefs may be. In thought-provoking, beautifully rendered prose, Sexton elegantly demonstrates that baseball is more than a game, or even a national pastime: It can be a road to enlightenment.
