Book Description
================
Third-string Cleveland Browns quarterback Rick Dockery
becomes the greatest goat ever by throwing three
interceptions in the closing minutes of the AFC
championship game. Fleeing vengeful fans, he finds
refuge in the grungiest corner of professional football,
the Italian National Football League as quarterback
of the inept but full-of-heart Parma Panthers. What
ensues is a winsome football fable, replete with team
bonding and character-building as the underdog
Panthers challenge the powerhouse Bergamo Lions
for a shot at the Italian Superbowl. The book is also
the author's love letter to Italy. Rick is first baffled
and then enchanted by all things Italian-tiny cars!
opera! benign corruption!-and through him Grisham
(The Firm) instructs his readership in the art of gracious
living, featuring sumptuous four-hour, umpteen-course
meals. The writing sometimes lapses into travel-guide
("most Italian cities are sort of configured around a
central square, called a piazza") and food porn
("the veal cutlets are beaten with a small bat, then
dipped in eggs, fried in a skillet, and then baked in
the oven with a mix of parmigiano cheese and stock
until the cheese melts"), but it's invigorated by appealing
characters and lively play-by-play. The result is a charming
fish-out-of-water story.
