Description
ALAN BLACKtalk & booksigning for "Kick the Balls: An Offensive Suburban Odyssey"
Thursday, July 24 at 7:30 pm
When Alan Black was a child growing up in Glasgow, Scotland, soccer - or what he called fitba’ - was the be all and end all. His experience was not the little league, boys-of-summer stuff. For Black, it was life and death. Now middle-aged and living in California, the ex-pat manager of the Edinburgh Castle finds himself coaching a team of eight-year-olds in his beloved sport -and nothing is going right. "Kick the Balls: An Offensive Suburban Odyssey" tells the story.
Alan Black is the literary manager of San Francisco’s famous bookish venue, the Edinburgh Castle Pub. His work has been published in the San Francisco Chronicle, Salon.com, and The Christian Science Monitor. Black is cofounder of the Scottish Cultural and Arts Foundation and coeditor of "Public House," an anthology. This is his first book.
