Editorial Reviews

Review

"...an absorbing piece of historical fiction... [a] page-turner of a young boy's first look at a major league baseball game..." -- Art Rosenbaum, San Francisco Chronicle

About the Author

Craig Carrozzi was born in San Francisco, CA in 1955. He grew up in a time and place-late '50s and the '60s in San Francisco's Mission District, the historic heart of the city-of economic dislocation and social, ethnic, and political conflict and ferment. This time and place has shaped many of his attitudes and influenced much of his writing.

He studied sociology and creative writing at the University of Southern California and California State University-Hayward. He took his degree in 1978 and joined the Peace Corps. He worked in a Colombian juvenile prison, running a recreation program and supervising a construction project for a youth center. After finishing his Peace Corps service, he moved to Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, and began to write. After six months, he returned to San Francisco and worked at a series of jobs-juvenile counselor, Spanish translator/interpreter, and contractor-all the while working at his writing craft. In addition to steady writing, he traveled extensively in Latin America and South East Asia.

In 1998 he founded Southern Trails Publishing and brought out his first full-length work, Wedding of the Waters. This was followed by City 'Scapes and Giants' Capers, 1991, The Road to El Dorado, 1997, City 'Scapes, reprinted from City 'Scapes and Giants' Capers, 1999, and Festival of Conception, 2000.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hi Craig...post office lost my letter to you, January 24, 2003

John D. McCafferty (Santa Barbara, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: City 'Scapes (Paperback)
This is a fine book for baseball fans!
I took a good swing at City 'Scapes, topped the ball and was easily out at first. Actually, it was during warm-ups. The book's well-written, of course; you're a pro and it shows. But as a narrative I had trouble with it, and I think the problem for me is a simple one: I fade away during all that dialoguie.
Also, I think you could fine-tune your diaglogue a little. Maybe "read" it to yourself and "listen" to it. It's wooden in many places.
But I hasten to add, I may be the wrong person for this book. Baseball bores hell outa me. Fans are. . . strange.
