This is the story of one of the most unusual seasons in the history of baseball. In 1964 one of the longest dynasties in any sport came to end. Another team's ascendancy in the sport was beginning. On the final day of the season, there could have been a three-way tie for the title. The managers of both of the World Series teams caught wind of efforts to dump them at the end of the season. It was an era of Hall of Fame players and fierce competitors. Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Bobby Richardson and Whitey Ford were icons of the sport. Bob Gibson, Ken Boyer, Bill White and Lou Brock had a chance to knock them off for a World Championship. The pennant races as seen through the eyes of a 17-year-old fan also involved one of the biggest collapses at the end of a season in any sport.

In May 1906, the "Atlantic Monthly commented that Americans live not merely in an age of things, but under the tyranny of them, and that in our relentless effort to sell, purchase, and accumulate things, we do not possess them as much as they possess us. For Bill Brown, the tale of that possession is something stranger than the history of a culture of consumption. It is the story of Americans using things to think about themselves. Brown's captivating new study explores the roots of modern America's fascination with things and the problem that objects posed for American literature at the turn of the century. This was an era when the invention, production, distribution, and consumption of things suddenly came to define a national culture. Brown shows how crucial novels of the time made things not a solution to problems, but problems in their own right. Writers such as Mark Twain, Frank Norris, Sarah Orne Jewett, and Henry James ask why and how we use objects to make meaning, to make or remake ourselves, to organize our anxieties and affections, to sublimate our fears, and to shape our wildest dreams. Offering a remarkably new way to think about materialism, "A Sense of Things will be essential reading for anyone interested in American literature and culture.
