The Picador Book Of Sports Writing is a well constructed, almost historic look at the art and diversity of sports writing. The stories range from formal structured reports to humerous anecdotes reflecting little nothings in the world of sport. The book is about sport and the sport is used through the book as a vessel for a metaphor to life. In the least a metaphor for a life relevent cuturally, politically and socially to the time and place the piece was written. Some of the stories lack depth but they certaintly make up for it in style. A great complilation, with a couple of exceptions. Very worthwhile for anyone interested in almost any sport or the creative gift of sports journalism/ writing.
