Variety of books is the spice of baseball life.

As usual, the new season offers a variety of literary baseball topics, from biographies to histories to statistical analysis and beyond. Here is a sampling of this year’s “crop.”

Week of April 17, 2023

Paperback releases for the week of April 17th include YOU HAVE A FRIEND IN 10A, a piercing first collection of short stories from Maggie Shipstead, who excavates the complexities of love, sex and life in ways unsparing and hilarious, sharp-eyed and tender; Adriana Trigiani's THE GOOD LEFT UNDONE, a lush, immersive novel about three generations of Tuscan artisans with one remarkable secret; HALF-BLOWN ROSE by Leesa Cross-Smith, an irresistible story of a woman remaking her life after her husband’s betrayal leads to a year of travel, art and passion in Paris; SISTERS IN RESISTANCE, a tale as twisted as any spy thriller, in which Tilar J. Mazzeo recounts how three women delivered critical evidence of Axis war crimes to Allied forces during World War II; and ALSO A POET, a staggering memoir from Ada Calhoun that traces her fraught relationship with her father --- celebrated art critic Peter Schjelda --- and their shared obsession with poet Frank O'Hara.
