Non-Fiction Memoir
Fantasy football, fantasy baseball, fantasy basketball, even
fantasy sumo wrestling: the world of fantasy sports is huge,
and still growing. Today, more than 35 million people in the
United States and Canada spend hours upon hours each week on
their fantasy sports teams. And as the Senior Fantasy Sports
Analyst for ESPN, Matthew Berry is on the front lines of
what has grown from a niche subculture into a national
pastime. In Fantasy Life, Berry
celebrates every aspect of the fantasy sports world.
Brilliant trash talk. Unbelievable trophies. Insane draft
day locations. Shake-your-head-in-disbelief punishments.
Ingenious attempts at cheating. And surprisingly uplifting
stories that remind us why we play these games in the first
place. Written with the same award-winning style
that has made Berry one of the most popular columnists on
ESPN.com, Fantasy Life is a book for both hard-core
fantasy players and people who have never played before.
Between tales of love and hate, birth and death, tattoos and
furry animal costumes, the White House Situation Room and a
126-pound golden pelican, Matthew chronicles his journey
from a fourteen-year-old fantasy player to the face of
fantasy sports for the largest sports media company in the
world. Fantasy will save your life. Fantasy will
set you free. And fantasy life is most definitely better
than real life. You’ll see.
