Review

“Hilarious and deeply touching . . . Not a baseball book any more than Field of Dreams is a baseball book, this moving, beautiful novel resonates with laughter and tears throughout.” ―Don Oldenburg, USA Today

“If it’s annoying that Mr. Duchovny, who’s already a phenomenally successful and painfully good-looking actor is also a funny and natural writer―his last book, the animal allegory Holy Cow, also earned high praise from skeptical critics―then at least give him some points for self-awareness. Like his character in Californication, Mr. Duchovny knows how he comes off and doesn’t mind if you resent him. He just wants a fair shake . . . Mr. Duchovny spoke to the Observer about writing, acting and the shocking demise of the wondrous Garry Shandling.” ―Ken Kurson, NY Observer

“Duchovny has hit this one out of the park . . . he does a terrific job of blending quirky and emotional writing.” ―The Associated Press

“Duchovny finds the humor and poetry in life’s lost causes.” ―Entertainment Weekly

“Duchovny’s hilarious new novel hits a home run . . . As fast as it is entertaining . . . Duchovny has a place in the lineup, kind of like a light-hitting shortstop who shines in key moments.” ―Micah Pollack, The Washington Post

“Even people who hate the Red Sox will love this book. David Duchovny knows his baseball, but more important, he loves his fathers and sons. A touching delight.” ―Gary Shteyngart
