Athletic Shorts: Six Short Stories by Chris Crutcher
5.0
I loved this book. I appreciated that the author gave a little descriptor before each story to help the reader understand where we were in the protagonists life. I haven't read Chris Crutcher's books in the past, but getting a little insight helped me and I would imagine helps previous readers of his work.
I think the author did a good job of taking the reader back to their teenage years, with all the angst and worry and 'unknown'. I liked the descriptions of each of the athletic events, and how you understood what was happening despite the fact that I've only jogged and played basketball!
All in all a good read and I'll be on the lookout for more books from him.
