Sometimes I Can See You is a life affirming multi-generational tale. Some parts are made up while combining with a realistic memoir of a real person long involved in the art world. far from being a family memoir, though it is that, these are luminous fragmentary tales of strong women and how they reacted to the men in their lives, sometimes disastrously but often strengthening. Plus a vivid journey back into 18th century colonial life in Virginia and a visit told with great immediacy to a small Ohio town in the 19th century which are intricately intertwined. The writing carries teh freshness of watercolor paintings with warm hearted view of life itself with all its fragility, losses, triumphs, and happiness.
"Baseball is lousy with hope. It sustains you and betrays you inning by inning and game by game, to the last out of the World Series, and even through the long, cold winter. The game call kill you with hope." "John Barr is the kind of player who isn't supposed to exist anymore. An all-around superstar, he plays the game with a single-minded ferocity that makes his New York Mets team all but invincible." "Yet Barr himself is a mystery, with no past, no friends, no women, and no interests outside of hitting a baseball as hard and as far as he can. Not even Rapid Ricky Falls, a.k.a. "The Old Swizzlehead," his shrewd, streetwise teammate, can get a handle on him. Neither can Ellie Jay, the jaded sportswriter who can outthink, outdrink, and out-write any man in the press box. She wants to think she admires Barr's skill on a ballfield, but suspects she might be in love with a man who isn't really there." "Barr leads the Mets to one championship after another. Then chaos arrives in the person of new manager Charli Stanzi, well-known psychopath. As The Old Swizzlehead tells it, strange and dire things begin to happen. Under Stanzi's careful tutelage, the team simply falls apart." "Then Barr himself inexplicably starts to unravel. For the first time in his life, his formidable skills fail him, and only Falls and Ellie Jay can help - if he will let them. Hanging in the balance are his sanity, the World Series, and true love." "Kevin Baker has written a sometimes exuberant, sometimes rueful novel, not only about the glorious game of baseball, but about the bittersweet, far more complicated game of life."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
