W.P. Kinsella meurt à 81 ans

Je me rappelle surtout de Kinsella parce que son livre "Shoeless Joe" constituait la base du scénario pour le film "Fields of dream". Ma passion pour le baseball explique que je lui réserve une entrée sur mon carnet web.

 "In a 1982 review of “Shoeless Joe” in The New York Times Book Review, Daniel Okrent wrote: “Mr. Kinsella is drunk on complementary elixirs, literature and baseball, and the cocktail he mixes of the two is a lyrical, seductive and altogether winning concoction. It’s a love story, really the love his characters have for the game becoming manifest in the trips they make through time and space and ether.”"
