A review by mmetzdorf
The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach

1.0

Poorly written, unrealistic dialogue ("This is a good year for Jewish ballplayers. That Braun kid from the Brew Crew is going like gangbusters,"), overwrought and trite reference to Melville, terrible character names (Skrimshander? Affenlight?) and just not an interesting story. Unable to force my way through the last 80 or so pages, despite my great love of baseball. Just disappointing.
