From the author of High Fidelity comes a sophisticated study of obsession, masculinity, class, identity and loyalty, in a bittersweet book that vividly recounts Hornby\'s youthful obsession with English football.
But above all, it is one for everyone who knows what it really means to have a losing season..
Fever Pitch is one for the home team.
Part autobiography, part comedy, part incisive analysis of insanity, Hornby\'s award-winning memoir captures the Fever Pitch of fandom--its agony and ecstasy, its community, its defining role in thousands of young men\'s coming-of-age stories.
Fever Pitch is his tribute to a lifelong obsession.
Or call it preschool.
Call it predestiny.
Nick Hornby has been a football fan since the moment he was conceived.
And that\'s before the players even take the field.
No pads, no prayers, no prisoners.
But in Great Britain, it is the real football.
In America, it is soccer.
A brilliant memoir from the beloved, bestselling author of Funny Girl, High Fidelity and About A Boy.
