Breathtaking tales of climbers and hunters, runners and racers, winners and losers by the Pulitzer Prizewinning reporter.New York Times reporter John Branchs riveting, humane pieces about ordinary people doing extraordinary things at the edges of the sporting world have won nearly every major journalism prize. Sidecountry gathers the best of Branchs work for the first time, featuring 20 of his favorites from the more than 2,000 pieces he has published in the paper.Branch is renowned for covering the offbeat in the sporting world, from alligator hunting to wingsuit flying. Sidecountry features such classic Branch pieces, including Snow Fall, about downhill skiers caught in an avalanche in Washington state, and Dawn Wall, about rock climbers trying to scale Yosemites famed El Capitan. In other articles, Branch introduces people whose dedication and decency transcend their sporting lives, including a revered football coach rebuilding his tornadodevastated town in Iowa and a girls basketball team in Tennessee that plays on despite never winning a game. The book culminates with his moving personal pieces, including Children of the Cube, about the surprising drama of Rubiks Cube competitions as seen through the eyes of Branchs own sportshating son, and The Girl in the No. 8 Jersey, about a mother killed in the 2017 Las Vegas shooting whose daughter happens to play on Branchs daughters soccer team.John Branch has been hailed for writing American portraiture at its best (Susan Orlean) and for covering sports the way Lyle Lovett writes country musica fresh turn on a timehonored pleasure (Nicholas Dawidoff). Sidecountry is the work of a master reporter at the top of his game. 23 illustrations
