Why read it?
1 author picked Shoeless Joe Jackson Comes to Iowa as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Kinsella was a master at blending two of my favorite things—fiction with supernatural elements in a realistic setting, and also baseball.
The title story was expanded into the novel Shoeless Joe, which later became the movie Field of Dreams, and I was fascinated by how the story changed in those three formats. Plus, the collection is packed with cool historical Americana fiction laced with uncanny happenings.
From Jeff's list on collections that show what great modern novelists can do with short fiction.
