One of the first novels published by prolific author Percival Everett. A finely constructed story, it follows the ballplayer Suder through a rough patch in his adult life. Everett weaves in scenes from Suder’s childhood experiences that illuminate the increasingly bizarre behavior the adult Suder begins to exhibit. For the reader, the crazier Suder’s actions become, the more they make sense. Everett is a vital voice in contemporary literature.
