( ) Jim Tom Pinch gets center stage this time, in a humorous (and possibly libelous) look at sports writing. Jim Tom writes for a weekly sports magazine that is not SI. We learn about the upper echelons of magazine publishing from a distinctly sarcastic point of view. We also follow Jim Tom to several mega-events (The Masters, The NCAA basketball finals, The Super Bowl, The Olympics, etc.) and meet a number of unforgettable characters. A bit less lust than "Semi-Tough," a little bit more romance - although he underplays his feelings considerably. I love Jenkins' writing - and this one makes me laugh. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
From the author of Semi-Tough comes a hilarious novel chronicling one year in the life of irreverent sports columnist Jim Tom Pinch. Jim Tom Pinch is a unabashed sportswriter who has followed around and reported on too many blonde-haired skiers, basketball players with names like Potatus Fry, and Russian figure skaters who want to know how much a house with a toilet costs in America. Now he tells the story of a year of romance, cursing, bimbos, touchdowns, pandering, padded expense accounts--from the Olympics to the Indy 500 to the heavyweight championship--a year that will leave neither Jim Tom nor the wide world of sports the same. "Bawdy, bitter, very funny...Jenkins's farewell salute to big-time sportswriting is a tell-all novel that deflates the hype around each and every event, from the Olympics to the Kentucky Derby to Wimbledon (Kirkus Reviews).
