About All the Stars Came Out That Night
Kevin Kings debut novel, "All the Stars Came Out That Night," is a vivid portrait of Depression-era America written in a voice at once humorous and poetic. Set at Bostons Fenway Park on October 20, 1943, "All the Stars Came Out That Night" imagines a late-night baseball game bankrolled by Henry Ford, pitting Dizzy Deans all-white all-stars against Satchel Paiges black all-stars. Not a contest waged for money or trophies, the outcome of this game carries with it both the weight of a historic injusticethe barring of blacks from baseballand the promise of vindication and redemption. Steeped in baseball lore and featuring an array of iconic American figuresfrom Babe Ruth to Clarence Darrow"All the Stars Came Out That Night" far transcends the sport of baseball, creating a tale that is mythic, captivating, and above all, quintessentially American.
