Narrative During Books Bucky F*cking Dent

Ted Fullilove, aka Mr. Peanut, is not like other Ivy League grads. He shares an apartment with Goldberg, his beloved battery-operated fish, sleeps on a bed littered with yellow legal pads penned with what he hopes will be the next great American novel, and spends the waning malaise-filled days of the Carter administration at Yankee Stadium, waxing poetic while slinging peanuts to pay the rent.

When Ted hears the news that his estranged father, Marty, is dying of lung cancer, he immediately moves back into his childhood home, where a whirlwind of revelations ensues. The browbeating absentee father of his youth is living to make up for lost time, but his health dips drastically whenever his beloved Red Sox lose. And so, with help from a crew of neighborhood old-timers and the lovely Mariana--Marty's Nuyorican grief counselor--Ted orchestrates the illusion of a Sox winning streak, enabling Marty and the Red Sox to reverse the Curse of the Bambino and cruise their way to World Series victory. Well, sort of.

David Duchovny's richly drawn Bucky F*cking Dent is a story of the bond between fathers and sons, Yankee fans and the Fenway faithful, and grapples with the urgent need to find our story in an age of irony and artifice. Culminating in that fateful moment in October of '78 when the meek Bucky Dent hit his way into baseball history with the unlikeliest of home runs, this tragicomic novel demonstrates that life truly belongs to the losers--that the long shots are the ones worth betting on.

Bucky F*cking Dent is a singular tale that brims with the hilarity, poignancy, and profound solitude of modern life.

Commentary Based On Books Bucky F*cking Dent

I thought that cow thing was weird last time, but I can get behind Duchovny writing about baseball again.

I probably rated this one a 4 because everything else has been so similarly unimpressive lately, but it was pretty good...if you like the 70s, swearing, the Grateful Dead, lots of dialogue, father-son bonding, and drugs -- not necessarily in that order.

Talk about timing: reading this as the Red Sox won the World Series in 2018. I admit, I was skeptical, but Duchovnys got chops. Its got some first-novel stuff, and doesnt break new ground, but he knows his baseball and he knows his books. There were plenty of parts that had me laughing out loud. And right when I wanted baseball, here was October 78 alongside October 18. I never saw it before. I see it all now. All of it. Its never Mickey Mantle that kills you. Never Willie Mays. Never the thing

Going into this book, I had no idea what to expect. The title was definitely an attention-grabber. I'm familiar with David Duchovny, the actor (who also wrote one of my favorite X-Files episodes - "The Unnatural"). I was unfamiliar with David Duchovny, the novelist. All I knew was baseball.I'll skip the opportunity to make some silly baseball reference that I'm sure will find its way into many other reviews. Yeah, there's baseball. There's also a touching story about family; a complicated one

I loved this wry, hip, smart, poignant, and hilarious novel by David Duchovny. It's a story set in 1978 New York City of a struggling failed writer who works as a peanut vendor at Yankee stadium - Ted is cynical underachieving Columbia graduate with a great vocabulary and a kind heart. In the course of the short novel he moves in with his estranged Brooklyn dad who is dying of cancer, falls into lust and love with his dad's nurse (Duchovny writes great sex - I should have guessed), and ends up

I really enjoyed reading this book. In particular, the dialogue between Marty and Ted and Ted and Mariana were entertaining and funny. A few times I laughed out loud. It isn't a comedy, but plenty of levity within the heavy context of a father and son making amends after years of estrangement. It's a fast, fun read.
