The Art of Fielding

The episode kicks off with some hockey-talk and a Miyazaki Minute on Spirited Away, before turning to Chad Harbach’s 2011 novel The Art of Fielding. Spencer and Jonathan have a spoiler-free chat about what makes for a great baseball story and what they should expect from this coming-of-age novel. Then at 15:12 they return after reading the book to dive into this beautiful, poetic novel. They discuss their favorite passages, themes, and quotes, before wrapping up by choosing player comps for each of the main characters.

Other art discussed in this episode: Various baseball movies, Hilda, Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, and following a historically bad baseball team.
