Nice sports writing memoir piece in te New York Times:
"I spent four and half years as a young reporter at Sports Illustrated, in the company of many fine writers and editors. All of them knew that the world considered sports to be of modest significance. And yet they also observed how much time and emotion people invested in sports and saw that sports mattered in ways that transcended the games. They took some credit for this. When I left to write books, the first one about sports, I continued to think about my privileged apprenticeship — about what sportswriters do to make the unimportant feel absolutely urgent."
