About this title

Review:

"Savagely hilarious."--Po Bronson, author of What Should I Do with My Life?

"Any suburbanite with kids in organized sports will find Black a riot."--Publishers Weekly

"A fast-moving mix of game recaps, childhood flashbacks, semi-sincere soul-searching, and politically incorrect analysis of his players' and their parents' shortcomings. The author doesn't spare himself, either, and his self-mockery provides some of the funniest passages in this very funny book."--Keir Graff, Booklist
