1917: The Perfect Game - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This novel is not a historical account of the sensational baseball game of May 2, 1917. Rather the game has been shamelessly hijacked for a story of mindful awareness and esoteric knowledge similar to George Saunder’s book, Lincoln in the Bardo. The baseball game is used as a means to present a two sided example on our true condition. One is the discussion and dialogue on the wisdom nature and the other is direct personal experience.
This spirited, humorous and freewheeling novel throws aside the game’s factual history to be a bewitching tale that reflects America's madness about all things spiritual, passionate and romantic infused with political theatrics and personal awakening.
The great Longchenpa, Jim Thorpe, Einstein, World War 1, Sigmund Freud, the madhouse city of Chicago and President Wilson are swirling in a dust devil around the most unique baseball game in history.
This story reawakens the dramatic year of 1917 as the Chicago Cubs host the Cincinnati Reds.
In the cacophony of the times, the two teams and the entire world are caught up playing - The Perfect Game.
