Description
The Roger Kahn Reader presents a rich collection of sportswriting from one of America's most renowned journalists. Spanning six decades and featuring pieces originally published in prominent publications such as Sports Illustrated, the New York Times, and Esquire, this volume offers an intimate and vivid portrayal of American sport.
Through his stories and articles, Roger Kahn brings to life entrepreneurs, athletes, and compelling issues of money, muscle, and myth. From the ordeal of fame faced by Roger Maris to the blazing competitive fire of Bob Gibson, Kahn's writing provides a nuanced and authentic look at the world of sports. A new chapter, "Clem," also explores the author's lifelong friendship with former Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Clem Labine.
This collection showcases Kahn's ability to describe athletes in a manner that is neither compromised nor cruel, but always true to their nature. With its unique blend of storytelling and insight, The Roger Kahn Reader offers a compelling look at the world of sports and the people who shape it.
