商品簡介
A A"hilarious and utterly irreverent taleA" (Irvine Welsh) of a year in the life of an abrasive pee-wee soccer coach
Growing up in Scotland, Alan Black learned that soccer was no mere game; it was a matter of life or death. In this harshly hilarious tale, Black, a Glasglow transplant living in suburban California, coaches the Dragons, a peewee team that proves an embarrassment to his beloved sport. TheyA're pampered. TheyA're soft. TheyA've been told by their overprotective parents that (gasp!) A"winning isnA't everything.A" Using drills and bombast, Black attempts to whip the team into shape.
Kick the Balls is a sidesplitting memoir of grass stains and free kicks, a no-holds-barred account of one manA's bafflement by an alien culture, and a stinging satire of American parenthood. Alan BlackA's voiceA-howling from the sidelinesA-is that rare thing: a fresh, original, winning comic talent.
