Playing for Pizza Book Cover

Playing for Pizza

Book Overview: Playing for Pizza

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER After providing what is arguably the worst single performance in the history of the NFL, third-string quarterback Rick Dockery becomes a national laughingstock. Cut by the Cleveland Browns, and shunned by every other team, Rick insists that his agent find a team that does need him.

Against enormous odds, Rick lands a job–as the starting quarterback for the Mighty Panthers … of Parma, Italy.

The Parma Panthers desperately want a former NFL player–any former NFL player–at their helm. And now they’ve got Rick, who knows nothing about Parma (not even where it is) and doesn’t speak a word of Italian. To say that Italy–the land of fine wines, extremely small cars, and football americano–holds a few surprises for Rick Dockery would be something of an understatement.

About the Author

John Grisham

John Grisham is one of the most illustrious and accomplished authors in the realm of legal thrillers. Born on February 8, 1955 in Jonesboro, Arkansas, Grisham’s journey from a small-town lawyer to a globally renowned author encompasses sheer hard work and an unwavering passion for weaving riveting courtroom dramas. He pursued a degree in Criminal Law from Mississippi State University and later practiced law for nearly a decade, experience that serves as the backbone to his gripping narratives.

Grisham’s writing career took off in 1989 with the publication of his first book, “A Time to Kill,” which was initially met with a lukewarm response. It wasn’t until the overwhelming success of his second book, “The Firm,” that Grisham started to garner international acclaim. His knack for deftly blending real-life legal intricacies with edge-of-the-seat suspense quickly catapulted him into the ranks of the best-selling authors.

Today, John Grisham’s repertoire includes more than 30 novels, a short story collection, and a series for young readers, all translated into 42 languages worldwide. Many of his works, such as “The Firm,” “The Pelican Brief,” and “A Time to Kill,” have been adapted into successful films. Beyond his writing career, Grisham is also known for his philanthropic efforts, particularly in promoting and supporting creative writing scholarships and programs. His monumental success in the literary world continues to be an inspiration for aspiring authors, making him a true icon of our times.
