The Art of Fielding Discussion Next Week

Next Monday, November 7 at 7pm (Central Time), I be hosting a live chat on Chad Harbach's debut novel The Art of Fielding here on this blog. If you have not read the novel, there is still time; although it is a 500-pager, it reads quickly. So get to reading and join me next week!

Live Chat: The Art of Fielding, by Chad Harbach

I am excited to announce Solitary Pleasure's first live book chat, featuring a discussion of Chad Harbach's highly praised baseball-themed first novel, The Art of Fielding. Check back in this spot on Monday, November 7th, at 7pm, for what I hope to be the first of a monthly online book discussion. Michiko Kakutani of the New York Times calls The Art of Fielding "a magical, melancholy story about friendship and coming of age that marks the debut of an immensely talented writer." And what better way to kick off the new baseball season than with a book about the America's favorite pastime. (Everyone knows what a sports fanatic I am.) So pick up the book, get reading, and be here the first Monday of November!
