商品描述内容简介Henry Granville, a baseball fanatic and high school teacher, spends hours in the basement with his young son Danny, introducing him to balls of all shapes and sizes. He even turns the basement into an indoor stadium. Danny quickly distinguishes himself from his peers, most conspicuously by his ability to throw perfectly with either arma feat virtually unheard of in baseball. But he also possesses a visionary gift that not even he understands. Danny becomes a superior athlete, skyrocketing through the minor leagues and into the majors where he experiences immediate success, breaking records held for decades.

When a journalist, a former student of Henry¹s hungry for a national breakout story, exaggerates the teacher¹s obsession and exposes him to the world as a monster, all hell breaks loose and the pressures of media and celebrity threaten to disrupt the world that Henry and Danny have created. A baseball novel--and much more--The Man with Two Armsis a story of the ways in which we protect, betray, forgive, love, and shape each other as we attempt to find our way through life.媒体推荐Praise forThe Man With Two Arms:

³The best baseball themed fiction so far this decade.² --Allen Barra

³Undoubtedly modern America¹s finest literary tribute to the baseball since Bernard Malamud¹s novelThe Natural.... Lombardo¹s one of a kind novel about a one of a kind ball player becomes as engrossing as a perfect game going into the late innings. If you¹re in the stands, you don¹t want to look away from the field, let alone leave the stadium early. Those who love to read about this great pastime will have the same feeling when reading about Denny Grenville, on and off the field. ³ --Alan Cheuse,The Chicago TribuneandAll Things Considered

³Lombardo writes with a naturalness that makes his street-smart surface wholly convincing, but the seeming effortlessness of his storytelling depends on a sophisticated sense of craft and a deep sense of empathy.² --Stuart Dybek
