Description:
If I Don't Six tells the story of Elwood Riley, a six-foot-six, 275-pound blue-collar kid whose ticket out of Cleveland is a full-ride football scholarship to the University of Michigan. But Riley is cursed with intelligence and an awareness of the vicious inhumanity of the college football system. If Riley doesn't want to "six" -- lose his scholarship or get maimed -- he has to become a "fella, " a pain-loving freak too nihilistic to care what he does to himself or others. And after Riley encounters the alluring, mysteriously damaged Kate, his dilemma becomes even more painful.
Expand description
Author Elwood Reid's portrait of this world is at once blackly humorous, starkly tragic, and perfectly detailed. In tough, spare, beautiful prose, Reid describes a place where young men damage their souls and their bodies in pursuit of a worthless glamour. If I Don't Six is a profound, unsettling book about a familiar yet hidden world.
