Gary Smith is one of the most accomplished sports journalists
working today, a three-time National Magazine Award winner who has
been selected in a poll of Associated Press editors as the
sportswriter they'd most like to hire. In Beyond the Game, Gary
Smith has brought together his greatest stories, from the inspiring
account of basketball coach Jim Valvano's courageous battle against
cancer, to an unforgettable tale of a remote valley in Bolivia that
plays host to an unusual annual ritual in which the men of rival
villages engage in a riotous all-day fistfight. Beyond the Game is
not only a collection of great sportswriting; it is a collection of
great writing, period. Each of Smith's stories -- of dreams and
fears, failure and triumph, self-destruction and salvation -- will
profoundly touch you and remain with you long after you have closed
the pages of the book.
