Jon Hart

Jon Hart's debut novel is Party School, a heartfelt, sometimes raucous, coming-of-age story with an important but often ignored message: It's not college which you attend, but what you make of it. His first book, Man versus Ball: One Ordinary Guy and His Extraordinary Sports Adventures is non-fiction. Man versus Ball chronicles Hart's unique, often humorous sports adventures, from hawking dogs at Yankee Stadium to playing basketball on in-line skates to being a U.S. Open ballperson for three years. Hart has published work in several venues, including The New York Times and Time Out New York.
