Synopsis
Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter John Branch has been hailed for writing "American portraiture at its best" (Susan Orlean) and as "simply one of America's best sportswriters" (Stefan Fatsis). In this breathtaking collection, he presents 20 of his best pieces from over 2,000 he has published in the New York Times. Here, we meet downhill skiers caught in an unexpected avalanche, a revered football coach rebuilding his town after a devastating tornado, a girls' basketball team that plays on despite never winning. We become immersed in the obscure worlds of alligator hunting and wingsuit flying, of speedcubing and competitive dog grooming. From the daring to the obsessive, and the haunting to the victorious, Sidecountry offers remarkable stories of people at the edges of the sporting world. Book jacket., Breathtaking tales of climbers and hunters, runners and racers, winners and losers by the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter. New York Times reporter John Branch's riveting, humane pieces about ordinary people doing extraordinary things at the edges of the sporting world have won nearly every major journalism prize. Sidecountry gathers the best of Branch's work for the first time, featuring 20 of his favorites from the more than 2,000 pieces he has published in the paper. Branch is renowned for covering the offbeat in the sporting world, from alligator hunting to wingsuit flying. Sidecountry features such classic Branch pieces, including "Snow Fall," about downhill skiers caught in an avalanche in Washington state, and "Dawn Wall," about rock climbers trying to scale Yosemite's famed El Capitan. In other articles, Branch introduces people whose dedication and decency transcend their sporting lives, including a revered football coach rebuilding his tornado-devastated town in Iowa and a girls' basketball team in Tennessee that plays on despite never winning a game. The book culminates with his moving personal pieces, including "Children of the Cube," about the surprising drama of Rubik's Cube competitions as seen through the eyes of Branch's own sports-hating son, and "The Girl in the No. 8 Jersey," about a mother killed in the 2017 Las Vegas shooting whose daughter happens to play on Branch's daughter's soccer team. John Branch has been hailed for writing "American portraiture at its best" (Susan Orlean) and for covering sports "the way Lyle Lovett writes country music--a fresh turn on a time-honored pleasure" (Nicholas Dawidoff).
