Houghton Mifflin. 03/14/2003. Reprint. Gideon Clarke, like his father before him, is searching to prove to the world that, long ago in 1908, the Chicago Cubs came to Onamata, Iowa, to play an exhibition game against the amateur Iowa Baseball Confederacy. What was to be a short, pleasant, easy game turned out to be a 2000-inning battle of wills over 40 rainsoaked days and nights that did not appear on any record book. But Gideon knows it happened and is determined to make sure the world--or at least Iowa--knows it too. He follows an old train roadbed called the Baseball Spur into the past to witness the game and talk to the players themselves--Tinker, Evers, Chance, Three-Finger Brown, and the Indian named Drifting Away who holds everyone's fate in his hands.

Pub Group West. 10/01/1996. 328 pgs.

Ackroyd has written a satisfyingly suspenseful novel that manages to be both funny and creepy. Originally published at $13.50 You save 85% off the cover price!

Harpercollins. 05/01/1993. Fans of Tintin, the boy journalist wunderkind of Herges beloved comicbook series, will be a bit surprised by art critic and world traveler Frederic Tuten's postmodern take on the character. In TINTIN IN THE NEW WORLD, instead of solving crimes or finding treasure, Tintin muses on the meaning of life, has his first sexual encounter, grows old, and even contemplates suicide. Responding to a mysterious letter, Tintin travels to Peru and encounters four characters from Thomas Mann's MAGIC MOUNTAIN. The four begin the philosophical process that will transform him into a man. Some will find the novel pretentious, but others will relish the lengthy ruminations on art and culture and admire Tuten's strange subversion of the French classic.
