Shoeless Joe (novel)
''Shoeless Joe'' is a magic realist novel by W. P. Kinsella. It became much better known due to its film adaptation, ''Field of Dreams''. The book was written as Kinsella attended a writers workshop in Iowa, and decided to incorporate the stories he told about the Black Sox Scandal, imagining if Shoeless Joe Jackson came back to the same city Kinsella was living in, Iowa City.〔"The 'Field of Dreams' Scrapbook", ''Field of Dreams'' DVD〕
==Plot summary==
Ray Kinsella lives and farms in Iowa where he grows corn with his wife Annie and their five-year-old daughter Karin. Kinsella is obsessed with the beauty and history of American baseball, specifically the plight of his hero, Shoeless Joe Jackson, and the Black Sox Scandal of the 1919 World Series. When he hears a voice telling him to build a baseball field in the midst of his corn crop in order to give his hero a chance at redemption, he blindly follows instructions. The field becomes a conduit to the spirits of baseball legends. Soon, Kinsella is off on a cross-country trip to ease the pain of another hero, the reclusive writer J.D. Salinger, as part of a journey the ''Philadelphia Inquirer'' called "not so much about baseball as it's about dreams, magic, life, and what is quintessentially American."
