W. P. Kinsella's surreal tale of man against fate revisits the famous Iowa baseball diamond from Shoeless Joe. Through an uncanny twist of fate, unemployed journalist Joe McCoy finds himself on the run from the FBI. Returning to his native Iowa, McCoy looks for help from two of Kinsella's most beloved characters: the time traveling Gideon Clarke and farmer Ray Kinsella, still hosting long-dead legends on his cornfield baseball diamond. If anyone can help McCoy undo his mistakes it’s these two. Performer Corey Snow effortlessly glides between McCoy's nervous quiver and Ray Kinsella's deep smoky drawl. With his uncanny ability to highlight each character's unique voice, one might well mistake Snow for multiple actors.
Summary
In the tradition of his best-selling Shoeless Joe, W.P. Kinsella has created another literary baseball classic. A warm tale of magic, humor and the power of a second chance, its hero is Joe McCoy, an unemployed newspaper writer who by some bizarre circumstances is now a fugitive from the FBI. There's only one thing left for Joe to do - go home to Iowa and tell his story to the only two men who just might believe it - Shoeless Joe's Ray Kinsella and The Iowa Baseball Confederacy's Gideon Clarke. This pair, Joe has heard, know a thing or two about inexplicable events.
Funny, fantastical, and as wonderfully crafted as Shoeless Joe, If Wishes Were Horses is another Literary Hall of Famer.
