W.P. Kinsella’s 1986 The Iowa Baseball Confederacy is a stand-alone historical baseball-fantasy novel. It could be considered CanLit, if published in Canada but set in the USA counts as CanLit.
Gideon Clarke inherited a house and a thriving insurance business from his late father. Gideon need never work. Convenient, because Gideon also inherited his father’s obsession with the Iowa Baseball Confederacy. As a consequence, Gideon may well be unemployable.
