...revel in his enthusiasm for the game and to share with us his observations and exuberance. Five Seasons is Angell's second baseball compendium, or "companion," as he terms it; the first, The Summer Game, was an immense critical and popular success. The earlier book argued in breathtakingly convincing fashion the superiority of baseball to other American sports. Specifically, Angell cited the way in which baseball constructs its own temporal and spatial realities, its distinctive and relaxed pace that permits the spectator to gain a complete understanding of what is going...
...places to watch baseball. One of the worst is Anaheim Stadium in Southern California, which I had the misfortune of visiting last summer. The game was a beauty; Frank Tanana of the Angels and Catfish Hunter of the Yankees locked in an extra-inning duel. But as is the fashion in the new parks, our seats in the upper deck were a good five or six miles from the action.

Trilling's subjects range from the student rebellion of 1968 and the burgeonings of the women's movement to the fashion for Portnoy's Complaint and the novels of D.H. Lawrence-and what these books suggest about contemporary sexuality. Her 1964 essay mourning the killing of John F. Kennedy best displays the author's power to summon back events. In the intensity of the national bereavement on that "pitiless weekend," she writes, "Americans moved toward each other, groping for the connection which would dispel loneliness." The hope generated by the Kennedy presidency, as Trilling accurately notes...
