The Small Gem among the Wiggens Novels
"A Ticket for a Seamstitch" is beautiful & sage beyond measure, one of the finest long novellas (or very short novels) written in English last century. Just a little baseball, really. The Southpaw goes 15-2 at the beginning of the 1956 season, but this book is a tour de force for Henry "Author" Wiggens, human being, & a plain mysterious young woman from the West...

A sweet tale but a weak novel
This novella is the weakest of Mark Harris's Henry Wiggens books. It is to be read by those who have to read everything in the series but compared to The Southpaw and Bang the Drum Slowly it comes up short. Weak in plot and in inventivness but strong in sugar.

The Small Gem among the Wiggens Novels,
This review is from: A Ticket for a Seamstitch (Bison Paperbacks) (Paperback)
"A Ticket for a Seamstitch" is beautiful & sage beyond measure, one of the finest long novellas (or very short novels) written in English last century. Just a little baseball, really. The Southpaw goes 15-2 at the beginning of the 1956 season, but this book is a tour de force for Henry "Author" Wiggens, human being, & a plain mysterious young woman from the West. Mark Harris can write about the qualities of straightness & decency with abiding grace. Praise to the University of Nebraska Press (Bison Books) for keeping this & other Harris tales in print.

OK Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Ticket for a Seamstitch (Bison Paperbacks) (Paperback)
Novel was ok but what the heck was that preface in the front of the book???? Crazy ramblings about writing and nothing whatsoever to do with the novel. I guess they needed filler to make the book a little thicker
