Hey, sports nerds!
Next week, Gelf Magazine will present the latest in their Varsity Letters reading series, featuring:
Glenn Stout, longform editor at sbnation and editor of the Best American Sports Writing series
Jonathan Mahler, writer for the New York Times and author of multiple books
Mary Pilon (marypilon), sports reporter for the New York Times and author of the forthcoming book, The Monopolists: Obsession, Fury, and the Scandal Behind the World's Favorite Board Game
Next Tuesday, January 13th at Le Poisson Rouge. Seriously, if you like sports even remotely, you should come. I've attended Varsity Letters a few times over the past couple years and it's always been an enlightening, laid-back time.
I'd say my New Years resolution to read more sports writing is off to a strong start (having people read to you counts, right?).
