The Silent Season of a Hero: The Sports Writing of Gay Talese
by Gay Talese

"By chance, I began reading pieces in this book when I was considering gifting it to someone, & was so struck by Talese's 'New Journalism' style that I ended up riveted. I am the FARTHEST THING from a sports fan, but I am a huge fan of fine writing & of narrative nonfiction. The description of the characters, the nuance in Talese's observations, & the 'left of center' perspective within each piece makes them come off the page. It's a 'trust me on this one' kind of read."
