Description: Combining an intellectual's keen mind and a sports fan's heart, acclaimed novelist Jean-Philippe Touissant reflects upon what a lifetime love of soccer has taught him about life and the passage of time itself. Part travelogue, part memoir, and part philosophical essay, Soccer is entirely unique, a thrilling departure from the usual clichés of sports writing.
Review Quotes: "Toussaint... writes the way Zidane played. He's insouciant and magical, maybe even a little arrogant. Untouchable, and yet somehow vulnerable... Reading this book is a unique experience."--Damian Tarnopolsky "Toronto Review of Books"
