The Natural


 

The Natural is a 1952 novel about baseball written by Bernard Malamud and Kevin Baker. The book centers around Roy Hobbs, a baseball prodigy whose career is sidetracked when he is shot in a chance encounter. Most of the story concerns his attempts to get back into baseball later in life, when he plays for the fictional New York Knights with his legendary bat, "Wonderboy." The story closely parallels the legends of Percival and King Arthur.
