It’s three thousand miles from the green fields of glory, where Henry “call me Hank” Thompson once played California baseball, to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where the tenements are old, the rents are high, and the drunks are dirty. But now Hank is here, working as a bartender and taking care of a cat named Bud who is surely going to get him killed.
It begins when Hank’s neighbor, Russ, has to leave town in a rush and hands over Bud in a carrier. But it isn’t until two Russians in tracksuits drag Hank over the bar at the joint where he works and beat him to a pulp that he starts to get the idea: Someone wants something from him. He just doesn’t know what it is, where it is, or how to make them understand he doesn’t have it.
Within twenty-four hours Hank is running over rooftops, swinging his old aluminum bat for the sweet spot of a guy’s head, playing hide and seek with the NYPD, riding the subway with a dead man at his side, and counting a whole lot of cash on a concrete floor.
All because of two cowboys, two Russian mafia men, and some of the weirdest goons ever assembled in one place. All because of Bud. All because once, in another life, in another world, the only thing Hank wanted was to take third base—without getting caught.
From the Hardcover edition.

苦大人流浪記/天煞孤星,前幾章簡直是蘸著血和尿寫的慘字,走到哪兒慘到哪兒,沾誰誰死。不過有貓和棒球,慘兮兮的幽默感,畫麵感也很強,可能有腦補的關係也不是很討厭。到結尾纔意識到說的是2001年之前的事兒。
評分墮落但無害的百無聊賴青年,猛然上路猶如黃花閨女下海,越過紅綫後一發不可收,孤身望斷天涯路,好在包裏還有貓 2018-06-02 腦補的漢剋有點接近Sam Worthington/Ewan McGregor,不過Partick也完全ok,電影版還有戲咩?
