The Bookshelf Conversation: Anika Orrock

April 22, 2020

Anika Orrock (@Anikadrawls) | TwitterWelcome to the second installment of the video version of the Conversations. As Yogi Berra might have said, “Thank you, Pandemic, for making this project necessary.”

Today I had the privilege of chatting with Anika Orrock, artist and author of The Incredible Women of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball LeagueIt’s a fascinating, all-encompassing look at that era and the women who helped keep the country going at another difficult time in our history.

Orrock is a member of the Pandemic Baseball Book Club, which we discussed last week with Jason Turbow. Unfortunately, she’s one of many authors with books coming out this year who will miss out on the fun and excitement of one of the rewards of their finished products: the book tour. But many of them have banded together to make lemonade out of lemons with the PBBC. And here at the Bookshelf, we’re happy to help spread the word.

These interviews are still a collective work in progress; there are still a few kinks to work out on the production end, but we’ll get there.
