- In America, it is soccer. But in Great Britain, it is the *real* football. No pads, no prayers, no prisoners. And that"s before the players even take the field. Nick Hornby has been a football fan since the moment he was conceived. Call it predestiny. Or call it preschool. Fever Pitch is his tribute to a life-long obsession. Part autobiography, part comedy, part incisive analysis of insanity. Hornby"s award-winning memoir captures the fever pitch of fandom -- its agony and ecstasy, its community, its defining role in thousands of young mens" coming-of-age stories. Fever Pitch is one for the home team. But above all, it is one for everyone who knows what it really means to have a losing season.
