Exuberant, playful, and evergreen, The Game at the End of the World revels in the grass-stained highlights of a sport without borders or boundaries.
Soccer (née football) fans will rejoice at this all-new volume of crackling essays from the author of God Is Round. Here, Juan Villoro explores the sport through the elements that make it the world's favorite pastime, from its ancient origins, mythic players, exhilarating matches, endemic rivalries, and the unlikely moments in which football has changed history.
A prolific writer and chronicler of World Cup games around the world, Villoro draws on our global cultural mosaic to inspire readers, players, and fans long after the final whistle blows. With a philosopher's wit and a journalist's ear, he has produced a book for curious newcomers and lifelong football fiends alike.
