A disastrous error on the field sends five lives into a tailspin in this widely acclaimed tale about love, life, and baseball, praised by the New York Times as "wonderful...a novel that is every bit as entertaining as it is affecting."Named one of the year's best books by the New York Times, NPR, The New Yorker, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Christian Science Monitor, Bloomberg, Kansas City Star, Richmond Times-Dispatch, and Time Out New York. At Westish College, a small school on the shore of Lake Michigan, baseball star Henry Skrimshander seems destined for big league stardom. But when a routine throw goes disastrously off course, the fates of five people are upended.
Henry's fight against self-doubt threatens to ruin his future. College president Guert Affenlight, a longtime bachelor, has fallen unexpectedly and helplessly in love. Owen Dunne, Henry's gay roommate and teammate, becomes caught up in a dangerous affair. Mike Schwartz, the Harpooners' team captain and Henry's best friend, realizes he has guided Henry's career at the expense of his own. And Pella Affenlight, Guert's daughter, returns to Westish after escaping an ill-fated marriage, determined to start a new life.
As the season counts down to its climactic final game, these five are forced to confront their deepest hopes, anxieties, and secrets. In the process they forge new bonds, and help one another find their true paths. Written with boundless intelligence and filled with the tenderness of youth, The Art of Fielding is an expansive, warmhearted novel about ambition and its limits, about family and friendship and love, and about commitment -- to oneself and to others.
"First novels this complete and consuming come along very, very seldom." --Jonathan Franzen

Lightweight, Effective—A Skincare Staple
Size: Gel Moisturizer
I’ve been using the Curology Gel Face Moisturizer every morning and evening and it’s quickly become a go‑to in my routine. The gel texture feels light and cool, absorbs almost instantly, and the clear, scent‑free finish leaves my skin smooth, not sticky or shiny. After a few weeks of use, my combination/acne‑prone skin looks calmer, with less redness and breakouts.
If you’re looking for a daily moisturizer that works under makeup and plays nicely with blemish‑prone skin, this one’s a winner.

Great, will continue to repurchase
Size: Gel Moisturizer
I've been using this for 1.5 years now and continue to repurchase. I have acne prone, sensitive skin and this does not break me out. It's lightweight and feels great!

Has helped my skin and is really nice!
Size: Gel Moisturizer, Size: Gel Moisturizer
I’ve been using the gel, moisturizer, and gentle cleanser together for a little while now, and overall I’m really happy with the set. The cleanser is super gentle and doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight or dry, which is a big plus for me. It feels like it actually cleans without stripping everything away.
The gel and moisturizer both have a really nice, lightweight feel. They absorb quickly and don’t leave any greasy or heavy residue, so they layer well and work great for everyday use. My skin has been feeling softer and more balanced since I started using them.
If I had to point out anything, it’s that the moisturizer might not be quite enough on its own if you have very dry skin, but for normal to slightly dry skin it works really well.
Overall, a solid routine—simple, gentle, and effective. I’d definitely keep using these.

Favorite!
Size: Gel Moisturizer
This is my favorite lightweight face lotion. It feels so hydrating when it goes on but not greasy. I also love that it doesn’t have a strong smell.
