Review
George Plimpton, that most peripatetic of sporting literati, takes the reins on the latest edition of sportswriting's annual all-star team, and lets these thoroughbreds run. As usual, the smart money is on Roger Angell, Rick Reilly, David Remnick, and Tom Boswell, all of whom are represented, and long-shot David Halberstam makes his comeback with a fascinating profile of a fencer. But the roses go to the real derby winner in this year's group, Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Richard Ford for his long, lyrical, sometimes funny, sometimes profound meditation from Sports Afield on, of all thought-provoking arenas, hunting with his wife.
About the Author
Founder of The Paris Review and a frequent contributer to Sports Illustraited, George Plimpton has written fourteen books. He currently lives in New York City.
