Tickets starting at $11
Created and hosted by writers Patrick Sauer and David J. Roth, Squawkin’ Sports is an ongoing series featuring book chats with authors who write about playing games. This month, Sauer and Roth chat with revered journalist Matthew Futterman, author of The Cruelest Game: Chasing Greatness in Professional Tennis, and GLAAD award-nominated sports journalist Julie Kliegman, author of Finding Renée Richards: The Groundbreaking Story of Tennis’s Trans Pioneer.
A riveting exposé of professional tennis, Futterman's The Cruelest Game—A Boston Globe Best Book of the Summer—offers never-before-reported access to the daily routines, mindsets, and personal trials faced by today’s major stars and tomorrow’s rising newcomers.
The candid, definitive biography of professional tennis’s first openly transgender player—featuring never-before-seen archival photos and untold stories nearly lost to history, until now—Kliegman's Finding Renée Richards chronicles the athlete's extraordinary, and complex, life, as a person who changed the sports world forever yet questions the place of trans athletes in that world today.
