Goodreads asked Eric K. Goodman:

What are you currently working on?

Eric K. Goodman I am working on a novel manuscript titled CURVEBALL. It is a sequel to my third novel, IN DAYS OF AWE, a literary baseball novel published by Alfred A. Knopf in 1991. In CURVEBALL, I am writing about the same characters 25 years later, which has been an interesting experience: to imagine characters across time. Jewish Joe Singer and his wife-to-be, Frannie, were in their 30's in my first book. In CURVEBALL, they are in their 50's, and their son, Jess Singer, a left-handed pitcher with a great curveball and a deep secret, is on the cusp of the major leagues. I've discovered that to imagine characters across time has given them great density, by which I mean they seem completely three-dimensional, old friends I know very well.
