Kinsella plays with both myth and fantasy in his lyrical novel, which was adapted into the enormously popular movie, <i>Field of Dreams.</i> It begins with the magic of a godlike voice in a cornfield, and ends with the magic of a son playing catch with the ghost of his father. In Kinsella's hands, it's all about as simple, and complex, as the object of baseball itself: coming home. Like Ring Lardner and Bernard Malamud before him, Kinsella spins baseball as backdrop and metaphor, and, like his predecessors, uses the game to tell us a little something more about who we are and what we need. 977324 1982 Shoeless Joe total:1097|5:18|4:26|3:26|2:4|1:2| 1097 4299 1406 124 57736 078572902X 9780785729020 788 83 3.92 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170476259m/57736.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57736.Shoeless_Joe 5 2 false Sun Jun 22 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 27 14:34:47 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 27 14:41:06 -0700 2008 more...]]> 77268 0395957737 9780395957738 213 25 3.92 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170900035m/77268.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/77268.Shoeless_Joe 5 2 false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri May 25 10:18:23 -0700 2007 Fri May 25 10:21:58 -0700 2007
