He shares an apartment with Goldberg, his beloved battery-operated fish, sleeps on a bed littered with yellow legal pads penned with what he hopes will be the next great American novel, and spends the waning malaise-filled days of the Carter administration at Yankee Stadium, waxing poetic while slinging peanuts to pay the rent. When Ted hears the news that his estranged father, Marty, is dying of lung cancer, he immediately moves back into his childhood home, where a whirlwind of revelations ensues. The browbeating absentee father of his youth is living to make up for lost time, but his health dips drastically whenever his beloved Red Sox lose. And so, with help from a crew of neighborhood old-timers and the lovely Mariana--Marty's Nuyorican grief counselor--Ted orchestrates the illusion of a Sox winning streak, enabling Marty and the Red Sox to reverse the Curse of the Bambino and cruise their way to World Series victory. Well, sort of David Duchovny's richly drawn Bucky F&%@ing Dent is a story of the bond between fathers and sons, Yankee fans and the Fenway faithful, and grapples with the urgent need to find our story in an age of irony and artifice. Culminating in that fateful moment in October of '78 when the meek Bucky Dent hit his way into baseball history with the unlikeliest of home runs, this tragicomic novel demonstrates that life truly belongs to the losers--that the long shots are the ones worth betting on. Bucky F&%@ing is a singular tale that brims with the hilarity, poignance, and profound solitude of modern life"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "A story of the bond between fathers and sons, Yankee fans and the Fenway faithful, which grapples with our urgent need to persevere--and risk everything--in the name of love"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Fathers and sons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Cancer $v Fiction. 650 7 $a FICTION / Literary. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Humorous. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Satire. $2 bisacsh 655 0 $a Baseball stories. 655 7 $a Humorous fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Satire. $2 gsafd 856 42 $3 Cover image $u http://www.netread.com/jcusers2/bk1388/420/9780374110420/image/lgcover.9780374110420.jpg 941 $a 19 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207021542.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909041124.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220614010139.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204082717.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110064626.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217025740.0 952 $l SKPC094 $d 20190504014313.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006094309.0 952 $l MSPA553 $d 20180628015041.0 952 $l DAPG173 $d 20170815011718.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418113740.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20161119010939.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160909011906.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20160820015452.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20160701020459.0 952 $l VTPD454 $d 20160604011533.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20160602011049.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20160510011220.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20160504042804.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=ACF62588A94B11E598245BCDDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
