Stuart Barnes has spent over forty years of his life immersed in
rugby union, remembered as one of the most controversial playing
names during the dying days of the English amateur era and now
regarded as a controversial observers in the media - on both
television and in print - with over two decades of broadcasting and
journalistic experience to draw upon. Sketches from Memory combines
autobiography with an objective and off-beat study of the sport
from the author's childhood in the 1970s, through the revolution of
the transition to professionalism in the 1980s and 1990s, right up
until the present day. Eschewing the more traditional form of the
sports book, Barnes abandons chronology to allow past and present
to mingle, presenting his memoirs as an alphabetical soup with the
letters of the alphabet and not the numbers, dates and years of his
life leading the narrative. It is a refreshing, beguiling and
absorbing approach that allows the dedicated reader to complete the
book in sequence, or the bed-side reader to flick from one letter
to the next without losing the thread. Honest, insightful, funny
and wise, Sketches from Memory is a fascinating study of the game
of rugby union, exploring its myriad enchantments, controversies
and world-famous characters like no other book has done before.
