In a recent interview with Cousins Reading Series, author (and Rumpus Contributor) Adam Gallari states “I think that the greatest analogy between baseball and writing, or even life for that matter, is that the game is designed for its players to fail.”

Check out the interview, and be sure to read The Rumpus review of Gallari’s debut collection of short stories, We Are Never as Beautiful as We Are Now.
