Birthday greetings
Birthday greetings go out to Michael Bishop (11/12), author of Brittle Innings (Bantam: 1994). Bishop is an accomplished and award winning author and poet, primarily in the science fiction genre. His account of baseball in segregation-era Georgia, though, in Brittle Innings is outstanding. And, in my opinion, Brittle Innings is one of those works in baseball fiction that should be included in a Top 20 (if not Top 10) list of the genre. Bishop's writing style, his development of a wide range of different characters, and unique story line, make Brittle Innings one of my favorites. Bishop has often focused on humanity and the human condition, and Brittle Innings is no exception.
