Synopsis
The energy and drama of the sports arena is unsurpassed as inspiration for the short story, and here, in these 24 stories from some of the world's great writers, is all of the bone-crunching action, the devious strategy, the devastating defeats, and the high-soaring victories of some of the best-loved sports of our time. The lineup includes Pulitzer Prize winners E. Annie Proulx, John Cheever, Howard Nemerov, and Paul Horgan, as well as favorites such as Joyce Carol Oates, Andr Dubus, W. Somerset Maugham, and Jeffrey Archer. Tales of baseball, golf, car racing, horse racing, swimming, hunting, and chess portray themes of love, loss, danger, and ambition as they express the passion for sport in all its forms. Watch an Ecuadorian bullfight turn into a bloodbath in Jack London's "Madness of John Harned," and learn as Simon Templar, alias "the Saint," teaches some crooks a lesson in a few hands of poker in Leslie Charteris's "Mug's Game." Both dedicated sports enthusiasts and lovers of short fiction will find Sports Best Short Stories a riveting experience.

- c***n (266)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseGreat eBay transaction in every way. Awesome power seller. Book arrived in excellent condition as described. Amazing value and bargain. Shipped in a discrete manner and arrived safely with no damage whatsoever. Beautiful book. I am very impressed with this seller. Book was shipped right away and there was no delay in shipping. High quality transaction and A+ seller. Would definitely do business with again. Thanks, and keep up the great work. Take care and all the best. Highly recommended seller!
- i***u (142)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseNo trouble with seller but I bought this book and two others that comprise the series, all from separate used book sellers on eBay, all at the same time. All shipped separately, all were somehow held at the post office, supposedly according to my request (which I never gave--these are under $5 paperbacks, just leave them on the porch!!), and only notification I got was "delivery attempted." I've had one refund already--not wanted--and now I have all the books. Pain in the ass thanks to USPS.
- 6***o (9649)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseExcellent seller! The item was accurately described, appropriately packaged, and shipped promptly—outstanding communication and customer service. Buy with confidence, FIVE-STAR SELLER! I cannot recommend them enough!
