A collection of headlong tales by Oregon author Brian Doyle exploring
such riveting and peculiar topics as chess in the Levant, tailors who
specialize in holes, how to report stigmata to your attending physician,
the intense hilarity of basketball, how to have a bitter verbal marital
fight in your car, an all-Chinese football team in Australia, soccer and
Catholicism, what it's like to be in a ska band, a singing Korean baker,
an archbishop who loses his faith between the salad and the entree,
genius Girl Scouts who save a radio station, and a baby born from a lake
in Illinois. And some other fascinating stories. Really. Trust us."
