The Great American Novel

From Pulitzer Prize-winning author Philip Roth comes a vibrant and satirical novel centered on America's only homeless big-league baseball team, the Ruppert Mundys. Featuring unforgettable characters like Gil Gamesh, a pitcher with a notorious past, and ex-con first baseman John Baal, the story explores themes of baseball as a reflection of American society amid a backdrop of farce and political intrigue. With sharp humor and dynamic wordplay, Roth critiques the intertwining of sports and national identity while diving into a world overshadowed by a mysterious conspiracy.
