Part Roots, part Forest Gump, each chapter in Gratz's novel follows the game of baseball through subsequent generations of Felix Schneider's young descendants.

New York: Dial.Īlthough populated by real and invented characters, The Brooklyn Nine has only one main character - baseball. The Brooklyn Nine: A Novel in Nine Innings.
