Book Overview

by Dan Jenkins (Author)

From the author of Semi-Tough comes a hilarious novel chronicling one year in the life of irreverent sports columnist Jim Tom Pinch.

Jim Tom Pinch is a unabashed sportswriter who has followed around and reported on too many blonde-haired skiers, basketball players with names like Potatus Fry, and Russian figure skaters who want to know how much a house with a toilet costs in America.

Now he tells the story of a year of romance, cursing, bimbos, touchdowns, pandering, padded expense accounts---from the Olympics to the Indy 500 to the heavyweight championship--a year that will leave neither Jim Tom nor the wide world of sports the same.

"Bawdy, bitter, very funny...Jenkins's farewell salute to big-time sportswriting is a tell-all novel that deflates the hype around each and every event, from the Olympics to the Kentucky Derby to Wimbledon (Kirkus Reviews).
