The Art of Fielding

The Art of Fielding • Chad Harbach

⭑ 9.0 Stars

This book is a masterclass in character and plot development, and I’m certainly not the first to praise the authors debut novel. Harbach somehow intertwines half-a-dozen complex personalities into a narrative that spans the intricacies of baseball, the dynamics of intergenerational romance, and the burdens of depression to shape what’s considered by many critics to be one of the best novels published in the 21st century.
