Summary

Bill Barich's widely praised work doesn't get any better than these intimate glimpses into the stories behind the stories, the real lives behind the public facade of the sporting world. Every piece shines with Barich's distinctive voice, and approach that splendidly balances both enthusiasm and intelligence with healthy doses of humour. The result is the very best kind of sports writing - from one of the master prose stylists of our time.
