| Description: |
Ira Berkow travels from the ballpark to the boxing ring to Woody Allen's film-editing studio in a Manhattan hotel suite. His pieces display a variety of mood and subject, from the humorous to the thoughtful to the tragic, from the famous and celebrated to the little known and some of the infamous. |
| Synopsis: |
An abundant collection of stories from the pages of the New York Times that transcend what we know as "sportswriting." Mr. Berkow has a clear understanding of the games he reports, but he also has a sharp eye for the lives of the players, an appreciation of the larger social context, and-not least-an affinity for the well-turned phrase. "Ira Berkow is among the best-a Sondheim of the sports page."-George F. Will. "I follow Ira Berkow in the Times with unfailing interest."-Saul Bellow. "If there's anyone doing sports who is even close, I haven't read him."-Mike Royko. |
