Stick a Fork in Me is another wonderful book by Dan Jenkins, especially this day and age of constant political correctness. This time the book is about an Athletic Director on the eve of his retirement as he recounts all that he has had to endure dealing with the sports programs at a medium size university.
The book says it’s fiction but you know at least half of it is likely true.
Dan Jenkins was an amazing writer of fiction books about his two favorite subjects football especially college, and Gold, was well as an excellent sports column writer, mostly at Sports Illustrated.
His books are always full of laughs.… (altro)

I quick little memoir, from a very funny fiction writer, and one of the best golf and football sports writers ever.

Yes, there's humor here that won't fly with modern sensibilities. The racism of the characters (not the work itself) is going to be too much for some readers, who expect all character flaws to be punished or at least explicitly condemned by the narrative.
Folksy and funny.
