IN-PERSON & VIRTUAL MEETING

The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach

At a small Midwestern college, Henry Skrimshander is a star baseball player. But when his routine throw goes disastrously wrong, Henry's self-doubt threatens to ruin his future. Meanwhile, the college president has fallen in love, his daughter has unexpectedly returned to town, Henry's roommate is caught up in a dangerous affair and the team captain, who is Henry's best friend, realizes that he has guided Henry's career at the expense of his own. Harbach's debut is a warmhearted look at ambition and its limits, at family, at friendship, at commitment and at love.

Moderated by Readers Advisory Librarian Cindy Haiken. To participate and for details about meeting virtually or in-person, contact Cindy at chaiken@wallingfordlibrary.org.
