Beschreibung

Combining an intellectual’s keen mind and a sports fan’s heart, acclaimed novelist Jean-Philippe Touissant reflects upon what a lifetime love of soccer has taught him about life and the passage of time itself. Part travelogue, part memoir, and part philosophical essay, Soccer is entirely unique, a thrilling departure from the usual clichés of sports writing.
