Suder

Craig Suder, third baseman for the Seattle Mariners, is in a slump. His batting average is shocking, his marriage somehow worse, and he secretly fears he?s inherited his mother?s insanity. Ordered to take a midseason rest, Suder instead takes his LP of Charlie Parker?s ?Ornithology? and flees. A dazzling tale of madness, confinement and the need for escape, Suder introduced Percival Everett to the world as a writer already fully capable of conjuring whole lives and worlds on the page.
