| Skillfully edited by John McNally, "Bottom of the Ninth: Great Contemporary Baseball Short Stories" collects nineteen contemporary baseball short stories from a successful mix of well-established writers, lesser-knowns, and a few up-and-comers. These stories are characterized by the same dramatic elements that draw people to the sport itself--the mythologizing of players, the obsessions and romance of the game, the bonds between players and fans, parents and children. From a key play, a missed catch, a chance lost, these are tales of characters facing high stakes and calls to action, metaphorically and literally, in the bottom of the ninth. |

Author Bio
Richard Russo
Richard Russo grew up in Gloversville, New York, the small, working-class town that has provided the setting for several of his books. His parents separated when he was small, and he lived with his mother but worked construction jobs with his father during vacations from the University of Arizona, where he received his B.A. He also has a Ph.D., and taught at universities in Illinois and Connecticut, then at Colby College in Maine. He began writing fiction when he realized he would rather write his own novels than analyze other people's and, in 1996, was able to quit teaching to write full time. In addition to novels, Russo has also written movie screenplays. Russo was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 2002 for his novel EMPIRE FALLS.
