Read a fan's eye view of one of tennis's most notorious stars, and
an exploration into the idea of sporting obsession. The perfect
nostalgic treat for any Wimbledon fan. The greatest sports stars
characterise their times. They also help to tell us who we are.
John McEnroe, at his best and worst, encapsulated the story of the
eighties. His improvised quest for tennis perfection, and his
inability to find a way to grow up, dramatised the volatile
self-absorption of a generation. His matches were open therapy
sessions, and they allowed us all to be armchair shrinks. Tim Adams
sets out to explore what it might have meant to be John McEnroe
during those times, and in his subsequent lives, and to define
exactly what it is we want from our sporting heroes: how we require
them to play out our own dramas; how the best of them provide an
intensity that we can measure our own lives by. Talking to McEnroe,
his friends and rivals, and drawing on a range of reference, he
presents a book that is both a fan's-eye portrait of the most vivid
player ever to pick up a racket, and an original study of the idea
of sporting obsession.
