Praise for Lefty and Other Stories:
“In this strong collection of stories, John Doble shows a rare ability to expose the foibles of very average folk—baseball pitchers, soldiers, college students, low-level Manhattan office workers—with compassion, not condescension.”
Greg Mitchell, author of Joy in Mudville and Campaign of the Century, winner of the Goldsmith Book Prize
“ ‘Two Letters from the Doctor’ has such stark realism of naïve boys turned into gruesome men that you find it hard to believe that it is fiction. It makes other stories, like [Tim O’Brien’s] ‘The Things They Carried’ seem mundane.”
