(Intro) - The Natural, which got off to a terribly slow start, selling only about 3, 000 copies in its first decade. Well, this is not just a baseball novel, it is a book of magic. What obsesses Bernard Malamud in The Natural is the magic of time, the awful mystery of the passage of an instant - In the second game at Ebbets Field, he (Roy Hobbs) took hold of himself, gripped Wonderboy, and bashed the first pitch into the clock on the right field wall. The clock spattered minutes all over the place, and after that the Dodgers never knew what time it was.
