Summary:

A rousing adventure yarn full of danger and heart and humor. Richard Russo

An instant classic for fans of Jane Smiley and Kitchens of the Great Midwest: when two hardscrabble young boys think theyve committed a crime, they flee into the Northwoods of Wisconsin. Will the adults trying to find and protect them reach them before its too late?

Its the summer of 1994 in Claypot, Wisconsin, and the lives of ten-year-old Fischer Fish Branson and Dale Bread Breadwin are shaped by the two fathers they dont talk about.

One night, tired of seeing his best friend bruised and terrorized by his no-good dad, Fish takes action. A gunshot rings out and the two boys flee the scene, believing themselves murderers. They head for the woods, where they find their way onto a raft, but the natural terrors of Ironsforge gorge threaten to overwhelm them.

Four adults track them into the forest, each one on a journey of his or her own. Fishs mother Miranda, a wise woman full of fierce faith; his granddad, Teddy, who knows the woods like the back of his hand; Tiffany, a purple-haired gas station attendant and poet looking for connection; and Sheriff Cal, whos having doubts about a life in law enforcement.

The adults track the boys toward the novels heart-pounding climax on the edge of the gorge and a conclusion that beautifully makes manifest the grace these characters find in the wilderness and one another. This timeless story of loss, hope, and adventure runs like the river itself amid the vividly rendered landscape of the Upper Midwest.

Title: So Many Ways to Lose: The Amazin True Story of the New York Metsthe Best Worst Team in Sports

Author: Devin Gordon

Narrator: Jeremy Arthur

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12:44:54

Language: English

Release date: 03-16-21

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Sports & Recreation, Baseball

Summary:

This is a weird, wonderful, and essential book about both America and its pastime. Its about a place as vast as New York City and as intimate as the human heart. Fred Exley meets Richard Ben Cramera funny, wild, heartfelt, and keenly observed portrait of yearning itself.Wright Thompson, New York Times bestselling author of The Cost of These Dreams

Mr. Gordons ability to explain the Sisyphean plight of all Mets fans is truly remarkable. Bravo!Ron Darling, New York Times bestselling author of Game 7, 1986

The Mets lose when they should win. They win when they should lose. And when it comes to being the worst, no team in sports has ever done it better than the Mets. 

In So Many Ways to Lose, author and lifelong Mets fan Devin Gordon sifts through the detritus of Queens for a baseball history like no other. Remember the time the Mets lost an All-Star after he got charged by a wild boar? Or the time they blew a six-run ninth-inning lead at the peak of a pennant race? Or the time they fired their manager before he ever managed a game? Sure you do. It was only two years ago, and it was all in the same season. The Mets have an unrivaled gift for getting it backward, doing the impossible, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat, and then snatching defeat right back again. 

And yet, just ask any Mets fan: amazing and/or miraculous postseason runs are as much a part of our team's identity as losing 120 games in 1962. The DNA of seasons like 1969, the original Miracle Mets, and the 1973 Ya Gotta Believe Mets, who went from last place to Game 7 of the World Series in two months, and the powerhouse 1986 Mets, has encoded in us this hapless instinct that a reversal of fortune is always possible. Its happened before. Its kind of our thing. And now we've got Steve Cohen's hedge-fund billions to play with! What could go wrong?

In this hilarious history of the Mets and love letter to the art of disaster, Devin Gordon presents baseball the way it really is, not in the wistful sepia tones we've come to expect from other sportswriters. Along the way, he explains the difference between being bad and being gifted at losing, and why this distinction holds the key to understanding the true amazin magic of the New York Mets.
