Overview
"Mark Harris, author of what may be the best baseball novel ever written, Bang the Drum Slowly, has also written some of the best and most perceptive short non-fiction about baseball. Diamond is a collection of his most enduring essays; written between 1946 and 1993, his subjects include, among others, Willie Mays, Jackie Robinson, Pete Rose and Bart Giametti, sandlot baseball and "the joy of watching baseball on the radio," a typical Harris play on words that yields new meanings. The pieces collected in Diamond have run in such places as The New York Times, Life magazine, TV Guide, Sports Illustrated and The Chicago Tribune, and are here brought together for the first time." "Diamond also includes the entire screenplay - never before published - of Bang the Drum Slowly, along with a special introduction to the screenplay and an article about Robert DeNiro and Michael Moriarty, the two stars of the movie. Diamond is a wonderful book for anyone who cares about and loves baseball, and who appreciates the special vision a talented writer can bring to it."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
