Whenever he writes about sports--or about the craft of writing--he hits it over the fence.&#8221; (New York Times Book Review)<br /><br />&#8220;A masterpiece.&#8221; (Chicago Tribune)<br /><br />&#8220;One of the year&#8217;s five best reads.&#8221; (Esquire)<br /><br />&#8220;Price blends an unerring eye for detail and nuance with fresh, crackling prose that gives these insights a startling authenticity.&#8221; (Boston Globe)<br /><br />&#8220;[Price is] perceptive, open-minded, and intelligent, transcribing Europe with the confident, lofty lyricism of an American sportswriter who has found his voice.&#8221; (Publishers Weekly)<br /><br />&#8220;A social commentarry of the first order. Highly recommended.&#8221; (Library Journal)
