SportsWorld: An American Dreamland
by Robert LipsyteTough and witty, SportsWorld is a well-known commentator’s overview of the most significant form of mass culture in America—sports. It’s a sweaty Oz that has grown in a century from a crucible for character to a complex of capitalism, a place where young people can find both self-fulfillment and cruel exploitation, where families can huddle in a sanctuary of entertainment and be force fed values and where cities and countries can be pillaged by greedy team owners and their paid-for politicians. But this book is not just a screed, it’s a guided visit with such heroes of sports as Muhammad Ali, Billie Jean King, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Joe Namath, who the author knew well, and with some he met in passing, like Richard Nixon, who seemed never to have gotten over missing the cut in college varsity football, a major mark of manhood. We see how SportsWorld sensibilities help elect our politicians, judge our children, fight our wars, and oppress our minorities. And now featuring a new introduction by the author,SportsWorld is a book that will provide the foundation for understanding today’s world of sports and the time of Trump. In the America of 2017—where the SuperBowl is worth billions, athletes are penalized or forced out of sports for political and anti-racist activism, and Title IX is constantly questioned and undermined—Robert Lipsyte’s 1975 critique remains startlingly and intensely relevant.
Sporty Creek
by James Still“Hard times during the Depression and family sacrifices are treated with honesty and humor” in this YA book by the author of River of Earth (School Library Journal).Sporty Creek is a series of short stories set in the Kentucky hills. Narrated by a young boy (a cousin of the narrator of Still’s classic novel River of Earth), the book tells the story of his family during the Great Depression. With work in the coal mines sporadic, they move from place to place, trying to earn a living the best they can. The story is told with gentleness and humor.“What James Still has done is to look at the people of the mountains and just a ‘bunch of houses in a hollow’ and see a universe unto itself.” —Lexington Herald-Leader“Tells of the tough living that many people in that region experienced and the humor and love that kept life rich.” —Appalachian Quarterly“A testament to people of courage and humor with a zest for living.” —Language Arts“Vintage James Still.” —Paintsville Herald“Still’s novel is an appealing mixture of earthiness and poetry . . . We are filled with admiration for robust people who have time to laugh and enjoy life, even in hard times.” —Publishers Weekly“James Still is a Kentucky writer I profoundly admire. He is capable of such delicacy and at the same time such power, and he’s a man who has really mastered the art, the craftsmanship.” —Wendell Berry
