Publisher Description
Will the real Tom LeClair stand up? Is he A) the distinguished pomo critic/ pedagogue from Bob Huggins U who is the author of In the Loop and The Art of Excess among other things? Is he B) the ex-player whose love and knowledge of hoops give us the perceptive perspective of a lead guard, what I have called his "sure grasp of the potential of the analytical, penetrating, and peripheral vision that enriches the point of view of his point-guard narrator" (1997, 557; if LeClair can quote whole pages from his novel, I suppose I may cite phrases from earlier essays of mine)?
