'Listen, you son of a bitch, life isn't all a goddam football game! You won't always get the girl! Life is rejection and pain and loss...'
A Fan's Notes - the horrible and hilarious account of a long failure. Our narrator is the ultimate unreconstructed male. His primary concerns are alcohol, sex and the New York Giants. But things go very wrong for him - he drinks too much, he's impotent and the Giants start to loose. And so we follow his boozy trail through two failed marriages, many bars and intermittent visits to Avalon Valley - a private home for the mentally ill. Shockingly politically incorrect, terribly self-indulgent but more than redeemed by its unremitting honesty and insight this is the unforgettable story of a man laid bare.
Nick Hornby is the bestselling author of nine novels, including High Fidelity, About a Boy, and Just Like You, as well as several works of nonfiction including Fever Pitch. His books have sold over 3.5 million copies in the UK, and many have been turned into successful films and TV series. He has been Oscar-nominated twice for his screenplays, and his TV work has won three Emmys. His work has been translated into more than 40 languages. He lives in London.
