About this listen

In Grand Slams, Timothy Gager shares the touching stories of characters who so often set are aside as window dressing in other novels. Here, Gager gives them the full spotlight: waitress, line order cook, knock around guy, each patron comes alive as fully rounded, damaged, loving people. Like Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio, Gager's book offers us both myth and realism, hand in hand.

Critic reviews

"Fast paced and lots of fun. With Grand Slams, Timothy Gager has served up enough pathos, wit and humanity to satisfy the healthiest of appetites.”—Nadine Darling, author of She Came From Beyond!

“Timothy Gager brings his uniquely comic and inventive intelligence to this endearing story about a handful of ne’er do wells, misfits, and wounded souls with names like Dye-haired Bob and Kayak Kenny, all of whom are trapped in an unrelenting eddy of work, overdue bills, and misconstrued love at Grand Slams restaurant in Massachusetts. At the center is Sugar, a beautiful, smart young woman who has tried, unsuccessfully, to dull the pain of living with sexual escapism and excessive cocaine use. Even as you are laughing out loud, there’s a deeper wisdom that infuses even the most unsavory characters in this tale told in brisk vignettes. Gager’s memorable novel blends sardonic humor with compassion.”—Jessica Keener, author of the national bestselling novel, Night Swim

Great characters, dialogue and wonderful scenes!

This is a brilliant audiobook that is very enjoyable. It was the first time I had heard an ensemble cast reading all the different characters. It was like an old time radio play. All the voice actors were quite good. Grand slams was a little bit like Anthony Bourdain‘s: “Kitchen Confidential,.” You get behind the scene look of the restaurant industry and all the insanity involved.
