Okay, all right.
This is another highly anticipated, long gestating sequel to a beloved novel, The Brightness by Chad Harbak.
Chad Harbak being the author of The Art of Fielding, which was, to be uh frank, everywhere.
So this is actually pretty exciting because the brightness, it's still in the universe.
that Harbak set up in The Art of Fielding.
It's just sort of swiveling to look at a different swath of his characters.
Well the first one was actually kind of a an amazing book about baseball.
Um this focuses more on the female
Perspective.
One of our main characters is Pella, who we met in The Art of Fielding.
Her father was the college president, also a Melville scholar.
So he probably would like to read that Philbrick book.
Um, but she's 27 now.
She's sort of reckoning with her past.
She's engaged to another character that we also met in The Art of Fielding.
Mike Schwartz.
I don't, I mean, it's gonna be interesting to see how much crossover there is because I think the baseball writing was a huge draw for people in the art of fielding because he almost had this like Zen like approach to it.
And it's really great to find good athletic writing in in fiction.
That is less here.
This is more in the sort of like big bustling, like social.
