The Celebrant

The Celebrant: A Novel | Eric Rolfe Greenberg

2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read

The first two decades of the twentieth century were a time of promise and innocence in America. Hardworking immigrants could achieve the American dream; heroes were truly heroic. Eric Rolfe Greenberg brilliantly and authentically chronicles the real-life saga of the first national baseball hero, Christy Mathewson, and the fictional story of a Jewish immigrant family of jewelers. In these pages Mathewson and other great players like John McGraw, Honus Wagner, and Connie Mack discover the realities behind the shining illusions: the burdens of being a hero and the temptations that taint success.

So many baseball-loving readers describe this one as the gold standard for baseball fiction. I love the subject (Christy Matthewson) and setting (early 20th century New York) but just couldn't finish the book. I really really wanted to like it.
