Midnight Baseball

Unsure of what to expect, Little Pay attends his first father-son fishing trip, one filled with the unhinged joys and quiet vulnerabilities of fathers and sons, and boys becoming men.
Echoes of the best of Raymond Carver, "Midnight Baseball" is nostalgic without being obvious -- delivering nothing short of the hero's journey in subtle miniature.

Mendicant Bookworks is proud to publish Bob Pajich's first piece of literary fiction -- a powerful bellwether of what we hope is more to come.

About the author:
