Jean Hanff Korelitz's latest novel is
The Devil and Webster.
One of her top ten campus novels, as shared at the
Guardian:
The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach
I had two reasons to think I wasn’t going to like this novel. First: jealousy. (The book was the subject of a massive bidding war and insane pre-publication hype.) Second: baseball, around which the plot revolves. I couldn’t care less about baseball. But of course it isn’t really about that. It’s about love. And family. And ideas. And it’s beautifully written. I couldn’t help it: I succumbed. You probably will, too. (Especially if you like baseball.)
