"Early in 2004, two
writers and Red Sox fans, Stewart O'Nan and Stephen King, decided to
chronicle the upcoming season, one of the most hotly anticipated in
baseball history. They would sit together at Fenway. They would exchange
emails. They would write about the games. And, as it happened, they
would witness the greatest comeback ever in sports, and the first Red
Sox championship in eighty-six years. What began as a Sox-filled summer
like any other is now a fan's notes for the ages." (Scribner)
"Stewart O’Nan is the author of numerous books, including West of Sunset, The Odds, Emily Alone, Snow Angels, Songs for the Missing, and A Prayer for the Dying. His 2007 novel, Last Night at the Lobster, was a national bestseller and a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. He was born and raised in Pittsburgh, where he lives with his family."
