You don't have to be a tennis fan to enjoy this collection of David Foster Wallace stories on the sport. From his autobiographical "How Tracy Austin Broke My Heart" to the pinnacle of tennis (and maybe even sports) writing - "[Roger] Federer as Religious Experience" - this book covers the best from the late, great writer. You can find each of the essays online with some creative Googling, but there's something about reading these in print in this beautiful, hard-bound, green volume that is a must-have addition for the bookshelf of fans of tennis, writing or both. I've read each of these at least five times and still find new things to enjoy every time.
