内容简介:

New York Times reporter John Branch’s riveting, humane features on ordinary people doing extraordinary things at the edges of the sporting world have won nearly every major journalism prize. Sidecountry gathers the best of Branch’s work for the first time, including classic pieces like “Snow Fall,” about skiers caught in an avalanche in Washington State, and “Dawn Wall,” about rock climbers trying to scale Yosemite’s famed El Capitan.

In other articles, Branch introduces people whose dedication and decency transcend their sporting lives, including a revered football coach rebuilding his tornado- devastated town in Iowa and a girls’ basketball team in Tennessee who play on, despite never winning a game. The book culminates with his moving personal pieces, including “The Girl in the No. 8 Jersey,” about a mother killed in the Las Vegas shooting whose daughter happens to play on Branch’s daughter’s soccer team.


JOHN BRANCH is a Pulitzer Prize– winning reporter for the New York Times. He is the bestselling author of Boy on Ice and The Last Cowboys, and has been featured in The Best American Sports Writing. He lives near San Francisco, California.

    有种二十篇文章给三篇文章做嫁衣的感觉。意外之喜是,第一次认真读非虚构写作教科书般、讲华盛顿州一次雪崩的Snow Fall,才意识到之前自己在给户外杂志时给一位那次雪灾幸存者打零工打了好久。她是怎么做到在经历了这么重大的事故,依旧对户外生活方式如此热爱,并不断写作鼓励不同背景的大家都来享受户外的呢?回顾起来,由衷敬佩。
