This is a book club episode. In it, Travis and Amanda will discuss and analyze the first half of SOCCER IN SUN AND SHADOW by Eduardo Galeano. You should expect full “spoilers,” discussions of rhetorical elements, and celebrations / critiques of style and substance.
From the cover: “In this witty and rebellious history of world soccer, award-winning writer Eduardo Galeano searches for the styles of play, players, and goals that express the unique personality of certain times and places…Soccer is a game that bureaucrats try to dull and the powerful try to manipulate, but it retains its magic because it remains a bewitching game that is exquisitely rendered in the magical stories of this collection.”
