Shadow

"Shadow" is a dark fable. The novel was inspired by W. P. Kinsella's "Shoeless Joe" ("A Field of Dreams." Kinsella's book is baseball and sunshine and freshly cut grass. "Shadow" is boxing and darkness and smoky fight arenas. Against the background of sweaty gyms, Spartan training camps and the primitive spectacle of men in the ring, "Shadow" also is a story of modern and eternal love, passion and hatred. NOTE: I am the Burt Solomon who wrote the classic "The Baseball Timeline. There is another Burt Solomon who has written baseball and political books. We are separate people and not rivals.
