The great Frank Deford sent me a comp copy of his new memoir, OVER TIME: My Life As a Sportswriter.
Like everything Frank touches, it’s literary cotton candy, except for one thing: cotton candy isn’t intelligent and insightful.
But if you’ll indulge a little narcissism in this narcissistic medium, the real reason the book is an instant treasured possession is the inscription:
FOR IRV MUCHNICK,
With thanks for his help, and in admiration of his magnificent investigative journalism.
All best wishes,
Frank Deford
