About this title

Synopsis

With disarming intensity, humor, and great heart, Brian Shawver tells the story of Dennis Birch, a washed up thirty-four-year-old failed ball player turned minor league scout whose field of dreams has always been baseball.

No longer a candidate for baseball greatness himself―if he ever was―Dennis accepts the challenge of smuggling a hot left-handed pitcher out of Cuba in the hope that promoting the greatness of another will somehow confer a small, manageable portion of it on himself. A novel of last-ditch hopes, destiny’s curve balls, and quiet redemption, The Cuban Prospect projects a vision at once humorous, harrowing, and affirming.

About the Author

Brian Shawver earned an MFA from the Iowa Writers Workshop and was awarded a National Endowment for the Humanities Award. This is his first novel.
