Description
Sports journalist and author Bill Konigsberg will be visiting us here at Books Inc. in the Castro to read from his debut novel "Out of the Pocket.""Out of the Pocket" stars quarterback Bobby Framingham, one of the most talented high school football players in California, who knows he's different from his teammates. They are like brothers, but they don't know one essential thing: Bobby is gay. Can he still be one of the guys and be honest about who he is? When he's outed against his will by a student reporter, Bobby must find a way to earn back his teammates trust and accept that his path to success might be more public, and more difficult, than head hoped.
"Out of the Pocket" is an affecting novel about identity that also delivers great sports writing.
