Description
For many people, watching football is mere entertainment; to some it's more like a ritual; to others, its highs and lows provide a narrative to life itself.
For Nick Hornby, his devotion to the game has provided one of the few constants in a life where the meaningful things — like growing up, leaving home, and forming relationships, both parental and romantic — have rarely been as simple or as uncomplicated as his love for Arsenal.
Fever Pitch is his tribute to a lifelong obsession. Part autobiography, part comedy, part incisive analysis of insanity, Hornby's memoir captures the fever pitch of fandom — its agony and ecstasy, its community, and its defining role in thousands of young men's coming-of-age stories. Fever Pitch is one for the home team. But above all, it is one for everyone who knows what it really means to have a losing season.
