520 | _aAmazon.com Review Roy Hobbs, the protagonist of The Natural, makes the mistake of pronouncing aloud his dream: to be the best there ever was. Such hubris, of course, invites divine intervention, but the brilliance of Bernard Malamud's novel is the second chance it offers its hero, elevating him--and his story--into the realm of myth. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Review "A brilliant and unusually fine novel." -The New York Times "A preposterously readable story about life." -Time "Malamud [holds a] high and honored place among contemporary American writers." -Washington Post Book World "The finest novel about baseball since Ring Lardner left the scene." -St. Louis Post-Dispatch --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. | ||
