Malamud gained a profound interest in American baseball and heritage. In 1952, Malamud saw the opportunity to express his interest in the sport, and the corruptions that come along with fame, by taking the chance to publish his book, The Natural. Therefore, Bernard Malamud entered the scene of writing, and proved to the world that he was not only a Jewish-American, but also one of the greatest writers to overcome loneliness, pain, poverty and cope with his internal problems.
