Description
From Jesse Fink, the author of the acclaimed Laid Bare: One Man’s Story of Sex, Love and Other Disorders and The Youngs: the Brothers Who Built AC/DC, comes a gripping piece of football writing, World Party: the Inside Story of the Socceroos’ Greatest Campaign, published exclusively for the first time in digital form and in celebration of Australia’s campaign at Brazil 2014.
Fink was on the ground at Germany 2006, following the Socceroos up close and interviewing major figures in the team’s odyssey from qualifying in Homebush to crashing out in Kaiserslautern: Harry Kewell, Mark Viduka, Tim Cahill, Frank Lowy, Graham Arnold and many more.
What he delivers is a book full of the sort of astute observations, big-picture views and fearless opinions that saw him become Australia’s most read and most controversial online football columnist between 2006 and 2011.
First published as a print book in 2007, revised and abridged for this special World Cup edition, World Party is now regarded as a modern classic of sportswriting.
As The Australian raved, ‘Fink certainly knows how to cover a major sporting event … the end result is a series of narratives culminating in the goals now seared into the memories of most Australians … Fink can take a moment and turn it into a vivid experience.’
Whether you’re staying at home to watch the greatest sporting event on earth on TV, or packing for your trip to Rio, World Party is essential reading.
