The Cost of These Dreams: Sports Stories and Other Serious Business

Synopsis

Whether It Be Michael Jordan Or Tiger Woods Or Pat Riley Or Urban Meyer, Wright Thompson Strips The Away The Self-serving Myths And Fantasies To Reveal His Characters In Full. There Are Fascinating Common Denominators: It May Not Be The Case That Every Single Great Performer Or Coach Had A Complex Relationship With His Father, But It Can Sure Seem That Way. And There Is Much Marvelous Local Knowledge: About Specific Sports, And Times And Places, And People. Ludicrously Entertaining And Often Powerfully Moving, The Cost Of These Dreams Is An Ode To The Reporter's Art, And A Celebration Of True Greatness And The High Price That It Exacts-- Wright Thompson.
