Description

The first in-depth study of Kinsella's fiction since 1987, this book offers a unique and updated analysis.

Utilizing a variety of approaches and the hermeneutical lenses of race, gender, class, religion, sexuality, and post colonialism, this comprehensive text covers the five novels and numerous short stories featuring baseball.

Topics include a broad history of both juvenile and adult baseball fiction, an overview of how the genre has grown since the early 1950s, and the various forms of national, community and individual identity that have formed around the sport.

The bibliography offers a balance of primary baseball fiction and secondary scholarship, demonstrating the numerous approaches to the game and its literature.
