Some interesting observations and anecdotes from the long-time and well-known sportswriter, but this is something of a reflection of its times, as exemplified by what's now slightly embarrassing chapters on Negro (sic) athletes and Jim Thorpe. Rice seems to like to drop hints at how chummy he was with major sports figures, which does make you wonder how truly objective he was. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

50 YEARS OF SPORT AS SEEN BY THE CHAMPION OF ALL SPORTS WRITERS. This isn't, praise be, a formal book. It is no literary exercise in balanced sentences and the painfully selected word. This is Grant Rice talking, rambling happily along, tell again in his wonderful way the wonderful stories he loved to tell. They are great tales of men and deeds, told with affection and warmth and gentle humour. Yet it isn't the stories of the great which make this a great book. It's the way Granny himself shines through the hurrying pages, his wisdom, his kindness, his faith. He wrote of men he loved and deeds he admired and never knew how much bigger he was than his finest hero. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
