Abstract |
In the movie Field of dreams, the character of Moonlight Graham became a symbol of broken dreams and second chances. Kinsella rescued Graham from the scrap heap; Field of dreams made him famous. Now Friedlander establishes him as a man, and proves that truth is more interesting than fiction. |
