The Game's Gone
批評家のレビュー
"It’s full of humour and quite emotional at times, with lots of insight into the cutthroat world of sports journalism. Perfectly narrated by Colin Mace who captures the atmosphere so well. An enjoyable and compelling listen." (The Bookwomery)
"This hits the mark at what it is like being a leading sportswriter by one of the best. Funny and engaging and is a really compelling listen." (The Last Word Book Review)
"The Game’s Gone had some proper jaw-dropping and laugh out loud moments. If you love sport or enjoy observing human behaviour, this audiobook is a perfect choice. I have to say, I loved it. I would be very interested in whatever Simon Barnes decides to write next." (Novel Nicks)
あらすじ・解説
No one would call David Rose - or ‘Rosie’ as he’s known to one and all - a star, but he’s good at his job and proud of his work as a sportswriter for a national newspaper. He’s used to seeing flashier talents come and go - both on the field, and in the competitive world of the press. Football comes first in the way he spends his working life, but he’s happy to pitch in whatever the sport - from Formula 1 to Test cricket in the West Indies, the Olympics to a heavyweight championship bout in Japan.
He’s used to the ups and downs of a journalist’s life and has learned to keep his own head safely down - until an especially venal boss pins his own misdemeanours on the entirely innocent Rose. Rosie’s revenge is slow but sweet, as he manoeuvres through a world where egos clash, money talks and you’re only as safe as your latest by-line.
Not since Richard Ford’s classic novel, The Sportswriter, has a novel caught the world of sports journalism so vividly and so well. A marvellous listen - funny, touching and compelling.
Simon Barnes was the Chief Sports Writer for The Times until 2014, having worked for the paper for 30 years, during which he covered seven Olympic Games and six World Cup finals. He writes about sports and wildlife and is the author of over 20 books, including the best-selling How to be a Bad Birdwatcher.
