KlappentextFrom the author of the best-selling Shoeless Joe, the novel that inspired the movie Field of Dreams
Bearing W. P. Kinsella's trademark combination of "sweet-natured prose and richly imagined world" (Philadelphia Inquirer), The Iowa Baseball Confederacy tells the story of Gideon Clark, a man on a quest. He is out to prove to the world that the indomitable Chicago Cubs traveled to Iowa in the summer of 1908 for an exhibition game against an amateur league, the Iowa Baseball Confederacy. But a simple game somehow turned into a titanic battle of more than two thousand innings, and Gideon Clark struggles to set the record straight on this infamous game that no one else believes ever happened. For fans of Shoeless Joe, here is another vintage Kinsella baseball tale that "like magic . . . holds together and entices you from one page to the next, until at the end you ache for more" (Milwaukee Journal).
