Synopsis
Many people feel that trying to insightfully describe athletic performance in words is an exercise in futility, but if any writer can achieve this impossible ambition, it must be John Updike, who spent a career brilliantly elucidating the beauty and wonder hidden in ordinary moments. And what better sports subject for Updike to train his literary gaze on than Ted Williams, renowned by many as the greatest hitter in baseball history. This thin volume includes a sparkling essay that young Updike wrote about Williams back in 1960, as well as a new preface and afterword he wrote just before his death in 2009.
