Most famous for his classic work The Boys of Summer, Roger Kahn is widely regarded as one of the greatest sportswriters of our time. The Roger Kahn Reader is a rich collection of his stories and articles that originally appeared in publications such as Sports Illustrated, the New York Times, Esquire, and the Nation.Kahns pieces, published between 1952 and today, present a vivid, turbulent, and intimate picture of more than half a century in American sport. His standout writings bring us close to entrepreneurs and hustlers (Walter O'Malley and Don King), athletes of Olympian gifts (Ted Williams, Stan Musial, Le Demon Blond Guy Lefleur), and sundry compelling issues of money, muscle, and myth. We witness Roger Mariss ordeal by fame; Bob Gibsons blazing competitive fire; and Red Smith, now whitehaired and renowned, contemplating his beginnings and his future. Also included is a new and original chapter, Clem, about the authors compelling lifelong friendship with former Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Clem Labine.Written across six decades, this volume shows Kahns ability to describe the athletes he profiled as they truly were in a manner neither compromised nor cruel but always authentic and up close.
