"Experts in the field of sports literature, editors Michael Cocchiarale and Scott
D. Emmert, Associate Professors of English at Widener University and the University
of Wisconsin-Fox Valley, respectively, present a collection that analyzes works by
many of the most well known authors of the last century, including Ernest Hemingway,
Jack London, Don Delillo, and David Foster Wallace. Introductory chapters offer a
survey of critical approaches as well as history of the genre that will be instructive
for students and their teachers, drawing the dimensions of the field within which
writers and scholars consider sports and fiction. After these contextualizing essays
come nine chapters that take particular critical views of selected works of both canonical
and understudied sports fiction, providing original readings that keep both teacher
and student in mind. Why this literature is important and how readers can more fully
understand it guide the selections for a volume distinguished in its scope and originality.
Contributors include Peter Kratzke, Tracy J.R. Collins, Scott D. Peterson, and Mathew
J. Bartkowiak."--Easons.com
