Description:Tennis is a game of love and sex, race and class, conflict and resolution, victory and defeat--an exhilarating blend of power and restraint, confidence and cunning. Tennis Shorts brings together unforgettable courtside stories from a bevy of top-seeded writers in a collection as exciting, seductive, heartbreaking, and revelatory as the sport itself. In "Year of Glad," David Foster Wallace--himself a former ranked player--explores the damage that one family's ferociously competitive tennis academy wreaks upon their adolescent son's psyche. An all-male London sports club is the setting for a bitter grudge match between two old friends in an excerpt from Martin Amis's satirical novel The Information, And raw ambition and old-guard prejudice clash courtside among the Lawn Tennis Club ladies in Ellen Gilchrist's compelling "In the Land of Dreamy Dreams." Whether it's the emotional paralysis induced by a moment of on-court defeat ("The Royal Tennenbaums" by Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson), or the intersection of childhood and maturity--not to mention the multiple meanings of the word balls (Jonathan Ames's "Pubertas Agonistes"), the stories in this collection are the perfect meditation on all things tennis.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
