Roy Hobbes is the quintessential baseball hero of literature, though the book is darker and sadder than the movie everybody loves. Malamud explores every facet of the game and how it reflects on American culture -- themes of innocence and corruption, redemption and renewal, fame and disgrace, all come together in a story that feels mythic in scope.
