THINKING AHEAD

THE THRILL OF THE GRASS

Here you are going to meet an author who has a real passion for baseball. He is certainly not alone in this, but there are a few people who actually write baseball stories. There are even fewer people who feel so deprived when there is no chance to watch their favourite game that they will stop at nothing. How far are they ready to go? How strong is their commitment?

William Patrick Kinsella is a Canadian novelist and short story writer. His work has often concerned baseball, which is a significant part of all of his novels. He held a variety of jobs, and moved to Victoria, British Columbia, running a pizza restaurant and driving a taxi. Though he had been writing since he was a child he began taking writing courses at the University of Victoria later in life and didn`t stop until he was presented with an honorary Doctor of Literature degree. He is a winner of several prestigious literary awards.
