A long out of print novel (originally published in 1923 and never reprinted), with a new introduction by best selling novelist Darryl Brock (author of "If I Never Get Back"). Heywood Campbell Broun was a well known American newspaper writer, who helped found the American Newspaper Guild. Broun championed the underdog, criticized social injustice, and supported labor unions. He died in 1939. The Sun Field is a very modern novel, with a strong feminist character, a complicated love story, and New York baseball of the 1920's at its center, with another lead character plainly modeled on Babe Ruth. Broun was a sportswriter, whose love of baseball and brilliant writing style shines through this book. A treat for contemporary readers.
