My Career with the Leafs & Other Stories — Brian Fawcett

Brian Fawcett explores the connection between track and existentialism, pool and foolscap, tomato cans and the Knights of the Round Table. In the process, he becomes a horse, confronts the Red Menace and almost drowns himself. This book is for anyone who knows what it's like to learn -- literally and figuratively -- the rules of the game.
