Produktbeschreibung
Pitching to Giraffes follows a rambunctious college baseball team in 1972 chasing a championship. Their well-meaning coach is a fish out of water trying to corral their hijinks. They need leadership from their top pitcher, but John Light is distracted by the excitment and turmoil of the world around him and his own developing sense of morality, newly at odds with so much that he encounters. When a dorm room discussion reveals to John the apparent absence of a universally accepted basis for ethics, John feels compelled to accept the quest on humanity's behalf and pursues it through reading, art, nature, and self-examination. This funny, warmhearted novel expands beyond baseball to explore how we determine the right thing to do and why we should do it. The right thing to do, it seems, is an in-the-moment, perpetual dance, but, with effort, one can find a firm path forward.
