Product Description

A senile former major leaguer, conjoined twins, a journeyman jazz musician, and a big-hearted social worker are individually of no value in an America governed by consumerism. But using the scrapbook remnants of their lives they are able to combine their aggregate worth to finance a tribe strong enough to bring down the government.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is Rick Norman's best novel., September 27, 2006

By	Paul P. Marks (Baton Rouge, LA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"Bat Day" is full of heart and wisdom. I became attached to the contentious conjoined twins, to the jazz-playing orderly, to the beautiful social worker who doesn't believe in herself, and to the old ballplayer on his way out.

The commentary is sharp. It's more of a comment on human nature, though, than on a political party.

Rick Norman has a knack for telling stories. Even if you didn't read the first two books in the Gooseball Fielder trilogy, you'll jump in easily.
