At Westish College, a small school on the shore of Lake Michigan, baseball star Henry Skrimshander seems destined for big league stardom. But when a routine throw goes disastrously off course, the fates of five people are upended.
Henry's fight against self-doubt threatens to ruin his future. College president Guert Affenlight, a longtime bachelor, has fallen unexpectedly and helplessly in love. Owen Dunne, Henry's gay roommate and teammate, becomes caught up in a dangerous affair. Mike Schwartz, the Harpooners' team captain and Henry's best friend, realizes he has guided Henry's career at the expense of his own. And Pella Affenlight, Guert's daughter, returns to Westish after escaping an ill-fated marriage, determined to start a new life.
As the season counts down to its climactic final game, these five are forced to confront their deepest hopes, anxieties, and secrets. In the process they forge new bonds, and help one another find their true paths. Written with boundless intelligence and filled with the tenderness of youth, The Art of Fielding is an expansive, warmhearted novel about ambition and its limits, about family and friendship and love, and about commitment--to oneself and to others.

佩拉是個蕩婦。周期。我不在乎她是否聰明。她根本沒有動機去惹亨利。(好吧,有點動機——邁剋為瞭亨利而輕視她……但真的嗎?而且,我也喜歡在邁剋第一次和佩拉打架後,哈巴赫如何講述雙方的故事。但這一事件並沒有給予足夠的思考和空間。看來佩拉和亨利上床的唯一目的就是為...

評分【提醒:本篇有嚴重劇透】 不算這本小說裏提到的R.W.Emerson將亡妻從墓裏掘齣的駭人軼事,我在各類藝術作品中一共經曆過四次掘墓情節。第一次是在Six Feet Under中,Nate將亡妻的遺體掉包,獨自於黎明時分將其裸葬在山頂;第二次是Heathcliff在Wuthering Heights中的瘋狂行徑...

以前從來不喜歡體育。看完The Art of Fielding以後在pub經常注意屏幕上是足球還是棒球。這本書人情味很重,用棒球隊做比喻真的很利落,很像作者本人。
評分每個人都在各種disaster當中掙紮 雖然不至於難看 可是這本書為什麼會被評成NYT的年度十佳呢?
評分I like this book. The story lines, the plot, and the characters.
評分Goddamn hard to read but brilliant. Finishing it is almost like an accomplishment and u start to miss it the moment u are done with it. It felt like breaking up that it's hard to pick up another one in a short time.
