Great pieces over at Jon Weisman's place. Please, please ... click through and register if need be to see the full article on Deford. With Gammons and Angell, they make up the holy trinity of the formation of my sports writing ... and I have probably just damned them with that. Others have guided me by their writing, either by mere imitation or higher inspiration, and my writing style is externally influenced by Fitzgerald, Isherwood, and Ellroy, but I am only the palest of lights burning next to them.
And the stuff is timely, too.
