Aprašymas
It's 1955 and the long-suffering Brooklyn Dodgers are marching into another World Series with their nemesis, the mighty Yankees. Believing that the fate of his parents' marriage hinges on victory, 11 year-old Roger Stone tries to end the Bums' curse by himself, enlisting the aid of Jackie Robinson. This Is Next Year, an exuberant tale of love and redemption, reaches a tense climax at the seventh game of the Series.
"Goldberg writes lovingly and evocatively of egg creams, stoopball [and] nascent rock 'n roll," said Publishers Weekly, and "captures the joys and terrors of childhood in the period with wit, charm and intelligence."
"There are only a handful of excellent baseball novels, and This Is Next Year is right up there." (W.P. Kinsella, "Shoeless Joe")
Author Biography: Philip Goldberg is the author or coauthor of 15 nonfiction books, including The Intuitive Edge and The Best That I Can Be. Like the Dodgers, he was born in Brooklyn and lives in Los Angeles, where he writes books and screenplays. He is working on a sequel to This Is Next Year, his first novel.
