Book Review - Tennis and the Meaning of Life
Why would tennis prove to be a great subject matter for fiction writing? Because tennis, like most sports, is a reflection of life. Striving to be your best, dealing with victory and defeat and overcoming adversity.
Tennis and the Meaning of Life: A Literary Anthology of the Game is editted by Jay Jennings. Its a book of short stories that run the gambit on using tennis as a metaphor for life. My favorite is by none other than Bill Tilden. He writes a story about an old champion delays his entry to heaven for one more match.
Short story compilations are great. You don't have to read them all at once, you can pick them up and enjoy something self-contained and entertaining in a single sitting. This book is an awesome addition to your reading list.
