myspiace's review against another edition
4.0
Un ragazzo tranquillo, un campione “normale”, racconta il razzismo e l’AIDS contro cui ha lottato. Poco tennis... una storia mooolto diversa da Open
iragsdale's review
4.0
I would never have picked this up on my own but it was given to me by a friend. I found it fascinating, if at times a tiny bit tedious. Arthur Ashe does a tremendous job of putting you in his shoes as he navigates the world as a successful black athlete and then and early AIDS sufferer. And then you read the final chapter and understand that the whole book is an attempt to allow his daughter to know who he truly is when she is old enough. Heartbreaking and inspiring.
