THE IOWA BASEBALL CONFEDERACY, Like in Shoeless Joe, baseball is at the heart of this novel, which uses magic realism to blend events and individuals, past and present, with the author's love of the game.
Gideon Clarke is a man on a quest. He is out to prove to the world, as his father tried before him, that the world-champion Chicago Cubs traveled to Onamata, Iowa, in the summer of 1908 for an exhibition game against all-stars from the Iowa Baseball Confederacy, an amateur league. The game, which was to be short, pleasant, and, the Cubs thought, one-sided, turned into a titanic battle of over two thousand innings, played mostly in the pouring rain. This game is not on the record books; no one remembers it or the Confederacy. But Gideon Clarke knows it happened, and he is determined to set the record straight.
