An Accidental Sportswriter - by Robert Lipsyte (Paperback)

An Accidental Sportswriter is a memoir that offers a fresh and refreshing view of the world of professional athletes as seen through the eyes of a journalist who always managed to remain independent of our jock-obsessed culture.

With stories from Lipsyte's long and eventful career, this book explores the connections between the games we play and the lives we lead, providing insight into American sports and society.

From the Mets' first Spring Training to Muhammad Ali's iconic fight and the current steroids scandals, An Accidental Sportswriter offers a unique perspective on the world of professional athletes.

With its circular search for lost or forgotten pieces in the puzzle of a life, this memoir is a must-read for anyone interested in American sports and society.
