ZACH DUNDAS

06/12/2010 7:00 pm
Up from Portland is sports journalist Zach Dundas with a fun, intriguing book on sports and sports culture, particularly the unslick, not-so-corporate kind, The Renegade Sportsman: Drunken Runners, Bike Polo Superstars, Roller Derby Rebels, Killer Birds, And Other Uncommon Thrills on the Wild Frontier of Sports (Riverhead). "The Renegade Sportsman must be the only sports book with over fifty references to beer in the first two chapters, at least where the beers are consumed by active players ... Dundas ... manages to joyfully condemn everything you know about organized sports by celebrating everything you don't know about disorganized sports. It's smart, it's cutting, it's funnier than hell." - Steve Rinella. "As a diehard (if slow) Nordic ski racer, just let me say: Zach Dundas has it exactly right; sports just get better and better, the farther you get from the media-industrial complex." - Bill McKibben.
