A Year in Provence . . . in sweats
Some people would consider writing for Sports Illustrated a
dream job. Others fantasize about living idyllically in the South
of France. S. L. Price got to do both. Assigned by Sports
Illustrated to cover sports in Europe, Price relocated his family
to a small hamlet in Provence, and then set out to uncover the soul
of world athletic competition.
In an attempt to comprehend the planet's most intense and bloody
sports, he immersed himself in the cricket rivalry between India
and Pakistan. He spent time with Lance Armstrong as the cyclist
fended off rumors of performance-enhancing drugs. He argued
politics with Olympic athletes in Athens, covered Austria's
beer-drenched version of the Super Bowl, and caught basketball
fever in Belgrade--as he, his wife, and children tried to adjust to
life in a Europe convulsed by terrorism, anti-Americanism, and
George Bush's war in Iraq.
Far Afield is an extraordinary memoir of growth, family, and
games people play worldwide.
