"There should be a horrifically evil baseball team that is unleashed upon America, sparking national outcry. Then, every normal baseball team can come together as one to defeat them." This debut short fiction collection features the linked stories "Baseball," "Video Games," and "Christmas." Combining the bombastic (and sleazy) wit of Eve Babitz with the tenderness of Denis Johnson, Kathy Joyce dives fearlessly into the broken heart of the modern world and breaks it just a little more.
