Opis

If you have ever lifted a stick, booted a ball, teed it up, or roared the favorite home, you're bound to enjoy Playing the Field. Eleven fine Irish novelists, poets, and other literary types have teamed up in a collection of all new, winningly written, witty and often humorous, highly individual views of the wide world of sports. If you want to know why soccer is better than sex, Joseph O'Connor explains it to you. From Ulick O'Connor's encounters with Muhammad Ali to Conor O'Callaghan's cricketing exploits in Dundalk, and from Colum McCann's games with the hard men of Manhattan's handball courts, to Mary O'Malley's dreams of being a hurler, this collection covers all sorts and conditions of sporting occasions and experiences. These writers have an articulate, impassioned, on-the-ball understanding of the hows and the whys of the games people play.
