Jackie Gleason is razzing Toots Shor in Leo Durocher's box seats; J. Edgar Hoover, basking in Sinatra's celebrity, is about to be told that the Russians have tested an atomic bomb; and Russ Hodges, raw-throated and excitable, announces the game--the Giants and the Dodgers at the Polo Grounds in New York. DeLillo's transcendent account of one of the iconic events of the twentieth century is a masterpiece of American sportswriting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Don Delillo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1668227754\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781668227756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 5.00w x 0.35d","brand":"Don Delillo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48454421151999,"sku":"9781668227756","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7b0bd591-d2f6-41db-8967-56c1b45e52fb.jpg?v=1777306137","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pafko-at-the-wall-don-delillo-9781668227756","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
