"Gary Pomerantz's Wilt, 1962 is beautifully written, well reported, and compelling. But what's so special about this book, what causes it to linger, is the atmosphere that Pomerantz has captured through his words, so bittersweet and haunting. You love Wilt Chamberlain. You feel the aura of his isolation as he towered above the rest of us in life, and you wish more than ever he was still around because of his very individuality." -H. G. "Buzz" Bissinger, author of Friday Night Lights "In his undeniable excellence and egotism, Wilt Chamberlain was America itself, inspiring worship, ambivalence, and downright awe." - Philadelphia Inquirer "Genius is in the details, and Gary Pomerantz's Wilt, 1962 proves that." -John Feinstein, author of A Season on the Brink and A Good Walk Spoiled "Meticulously researched and superbly crafted, Wilt, 1962 revisits and vividly re-creates a seminal but overlooked moment in American sports history. On that transformative evening in Hershey, Pennsylvania, Wilt Chamberlain scored one hundred points and staked a black man's claim to the city game. In Gary Pomerantz's deft possession-by-possession retelling, Chamberlain soars again. The gangly, uncompromising seven-footer who always seemed too big for the uniform he inhabited thunders back to life." -Jane Leavy, author of Sandy Koufax: A Lefty's Legacy " Wilt, 1962 is not only a lively sports story about the record-setting performance of a larger-than-life athlete, it is also a wonderful chronicle of urban and social history, replete with colorful characters and situations from a bygone era of professional basketball, when the game changed from being dominated by white stars to being dominated by black ones." -Gerald L. Early, author of This Is Where I Came In: Black America in the 1960s "In this age of instant everything, few people have any idea who Wilt Chamberlain really was and what he meant to sports. Gary Pomerantz shows us. In Wilt, 1962 he puts us courtside for one of the greatest unexamined moments in sports history, the night Wilt scored one hundred points. In a sweet return to his sportswriting roots, Pomerantz gives us Wilt in his realm, his rise to prominence and dominance, set against the backdrop of the NBA's coming of age. It's all irresistible." -Michael Wilbon, cohost of ESPN's Pardon the Interruption From the Hardcover edition., "Gary Pomerantz'sWilt, 1962is beautifully written, well reported, and compelling.
