ISBN: 9781909715714 - sketches from memory: a rugby memoir (8 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good.

Sketches from Memory combines autobiography with an objective and off-beat study of the sport from the author?s childhood in the 1970s, through the revolution of the transition to professionalism in the 1980s and 1990s, right up until the present day. Eschewing the more traditional form of the sports book, Barnes abandons chronology to allow past and present to mingle, presenting his memoirs as an alphabetical soup with the letters of the alphabet and not the numbers, dates and years of his life leading the narrative. It is a refreshing, beguiling and absorbing approach that allows the dedicated reader to complete the book in sequence, or the bed-side reader to flick from one letter to the next without losing the thread.
