| Publisher Description: "From the Perspective of the man in the field, time during a baseball game passes in any number of odd ways. Hardly anything is measured in minutes or hours, but rather by the distinctive pace of a pitcher's wind-up, for instance, or the obsessive and repetitive movements of a hitter settling him self in the batter's box. Time stretches, lays itself out in the mid-day sun like picnickers in a Renoir painting, but the player must not be fooled, for at any moment the painting can explode into action..."Dream tracks the calamitous and extraordinary events in the early life of a gifted young baseball player, Frank Treadwell, whose career and ambitions are side-tracked by his mother's illness, his sub-sequential emotional breakdown, and his ultimate exodus from his hometown of Dillon, South Carolina. In the course of his journey, Frank finds that he must endure a transient existence for a time as well as the foibles and complexities of his first real experience with love, as he seeks the support and stability he needs to return to the game he believes he is meant to play. |
