The Man Who Wouldn’t Stand Up


Jacob M. Appel

With tongue planted firmly in cheek, Appel follows botanist Arnold Brinkmann through the jingoistic fallout of his choice not to stand for “God Bless America” at a Yankees game. Arnold struggles to deal with the absurdities of his new life and the eccentric characters who jump to his aid. The prose reads like a real-life Daily Show segment where only Apple realizes how strange our world has become.
