An Accidental Sportswriter

Viac o knihe

Alienated from traditional sports culture, Robert Lipsyte reflects on his unique perspective as a sportswriter who never embraced fandom. Growing up as an outsider and a target for bullies, his experiences shaped his fifty-year career, primarily as a columnist for the New York Times. Rather than idolizing athletes or teams, Lipsyte offers a critical and introspective view of sports, challenging the norms of sports journalism with his distinct voice and experiences.
