Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Roy Hobbs, the protagonist of The Natural, makes the mistake of pronouncing aloud his dream: to be the best there ever was. Such hubris, of course, invites divine intervention, but the brilliance of Bernard Malamud's novel is the second chance it offers its hero, elevating him--and his story--into the realm of myth. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

-- Washington Post Book World
"Malamud [holds a] high and honored place among contemporary American writers." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
