SUMMARY:Author Visit Tom Murray
DESCRIPTION:Meet and greets with Iowa author\, Tom Murray. "Murray's novel mixes Pete Hamill's pacing and characters with a touch of Mitch Albom's mysticism. It combines the down-home folksiness of W.P. Kinsella with the throw-at-their heads combativeness of Leo Durocher. Such small town virtues seem a distant\, nostalgic memory in these disturbing times. If literature--or baseball for that matter--has anything to teach us in this frenetic\, impatient age of ours\, it might be the rediscovery of restraint and humility\, dedication and hard work--virtues that 'the olds' instill in all the boys of Tommy Murray's summer.'' -- Jim Swearingen\, National Book Review
