Items related to A great day for a ballgame;: A conscious love story
In A Great Day for a Ballgame, narrator Fielding is a writer who sells a story to a fashion magazine and is invited to meet the literary editor Amelia West in her midtown New York office. It turns out she's a fan and, surprise, she instantly likes him in person. For his part, he too is hooked, attracted by her beauty but also by the disarming fact that she really is in tune with him. She can appreciate his wit, observations, and theories. As they start dating, she even understands his concept of a storyline dialogue: two fictional characters, or real-life people, having a conversation that is moving toward the same end, so that their lines are interchangeable. At one point, when Amelia makes a comment, Fielding comically says, That's my line. Except for the cigarettes, this could be a story of the present or future, but its also good to see it as a part of New York's past. I had a remarkable feeling that I was in one of my own stories, the Fielding character says.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. A very artsy-craftsy romance about literary types. Has many baseball references and a couple of game scenes-playing with a child in Central Park and flashing back to high school. The inside front of the Dust Jacket has a review from the San Francisco Book Review- "I'm not sure that Dawson is another DiMaggio, but he's the equal of Yogi Berra at least." Heh! Yogi is a Hall of Famer as well. The book is in very good condition, the Dust Jacket (now in a Mylar protector) has small chips and tears, is in good condition. This is one of the most difficult baseball novels to find. I have more than 210 baseball novels and mysteries in stock. Discounts are available when you purchase multiple items on the same order.
