Zustand: very good, very good. First Edition. First Printing. [8], 228, [2] pages. Illustrations. Endpaper illustration. Index. George V. Higgins (November 13, 1939 - November 6, 1999) was an American author, lawyer, newspaper columnist, and college professor. He is best known for his bestselling novels. His full name was George Vincent Higgins II, after an uncle living in Randolph, but he dropped the numeric (unofficially) in mid life. His books were all published as by George V. Higgins. Higgins worked as a deputy assistant attorney general for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and an Assistant United States Attorney and a journalist and newspaper columnist before becoming a novelist. He wrote for the Associated Press, the Boston Globe, the Boston Herald American, and the Wall Street Journal. He spent seven years in anti-organized-crime government positions, including Assistant U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts. He entered the private practice of law in 1973, and was active for ten years. During those years he represented several famous figures, such as Eldridge Cleaver and G. Gordon Liddy. He was a professor at Boston College and Boston University. The author was a life-long fan of the Boston Red Sox. Derived from a Publisher's Weekly review posted on-line: Higgins grew up in Boston, and in this history of the Red Sox, he weaves the events of his life into the hometown backdrop of athletic non-achievement at the shrine of Fenway Park. Indoctrinated into the sect of Red Sox fandom at seven, when his father took him to Fenway in 1946, the author recalls and rails at the goings-on of the past 40 years. The Sox hadn't won the World Series since 1918, yet baseball is what keeps New Englanders alive, he asserts. Each season begins with fans devoutly believing that ''this is the year the Sox finally win the Series.'' Higgins's affectionate look at the Sox is enhanced by an unabashed Boston boosterism and a loving reminiscence of his baseball-oriented family. His obvious love, zeal and attachment to the subject enable him to tell his tale with style.…

Minor edge soiling. Signed by the author on the half-title page, below the quotation. George V. Higgins (November 13, 1939 November 6, 1999) was an American author, lawyer, newspaper columnist, and college professor. He is best known for his best-selling novels. His full name was George Vincent Higgins II, after an uncle living in Randolph, but he dropped the numeric (unofficially) in mid life. His books were all published as by George V. Higgins. Higgins worked as a deputy assistant attorney general for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and an Assistant United States Attorney and a journalist and newspaper columnist before becoming a novelist. He wrote for the Associated Press, the Boston Globe, the Boston Herald American, and the Wall Street Journal. He spent seven years in anti-organized-crime government positions, including Assistant U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts. He entered the private practice of law in 1973, and was active for ten years. During those years he represented several famous figures, such as Eldridge Cleaver and G. Gordon Liddy. He was a professor at Boston College and Boston University. The author was a lifelong fan of the Boston Red Sox. Beginning in 1946, a then eight-year-old George Higgins, accompanied by father and grandfather, began taking the long train ride out to Fenway Park to find some truth in immortals like Doerr, DiMaggio, York, and Williams, and later, Yastremski, Marty Barrett, and many more. This is a book about baseball and about the Boston Red Sox; but that is only part of the story. Beyond the games, the book turns on thoughts about family and continuity and, of course, the progress of the seasons. There's a magical moment when Higgins calls on his own mythic Emily to check the all-time lineup with his deceased forebears. By then, you've come to know what the author's values have in common with those in Our Town, and why certain professional athletes achieve immortality and others don't. The Progress of the Seasons confirms what admirers of the author's sparkling accurate prose already know: Higgins is to writing what Ted Williams was to baseball, an all-star. Derived from a Publisher's Weekly review posted on-line: Higgins grew up in Boston, and in this history of the Red Sox, he weaves the events of his life into the hometown backdrop of athletic non-achievement at the shrine of Fenway Park.
