Mudville Kevin Postupack

MUDVILLE is Casey at the Bat turned on its ear, seen through the sulfurous light of hellfire. It's the bottom of the ninth, the Mudville Nine are down 4-2 with two outs as Casey steps to the plate. And what follows is an apocalyptic retelling of an American folk tale. A story of violence through generations at the heart of the American dream, from the 19th century to the present day-of a people shaped by brutality, and the "better angels of our nature" becoming the killer-devils, who at any moment threaten to destroy us.
