Fever Pitch – Nick Hornby on the most important soccer book of all time
In englischer Sprache
In 1992, a largely unknown young writer called Nick Hornby published his debut work in England, launching his career as an international bestselling author. In Fever Pitch, he described not only his obsession with soccer, but also the emotional world of soccer fans in general. Until then, they had only been described as violent problem children, but Nick Hornby revealed a previously unexamined emotional universe. His book became a worldwide hit, leading to not just one but two movies (“Fever Pitch”, “Perfect Catch”) and, above all, changing how soccer is written about forever. But how does Hornby see his groundbreaking book today and what does he think about how soccer has changed? He talks to journalist Christoph Biermann, who declares that Fever Pitch “changed my life”.
