On December 7, at 2pm Eastern US time, FSF welcomes journalist and author Anthony Clavane for a discussion of his book, Promised Land: A Northern Love Story, winner of the 2011 UK Sports Book of the Year.
Part memoir, part social history, part fútbology, Promised Land explores the “Dirty Leeds” image of both city and club, linking changes on the pitch to broader political, economic, and cultural transformations. As the publisher puts it: “This is a book about football. It’s about unconditional love for a club, even when it doesn’t always seem to love you back. But it is also a book about much more than that.”
To participate in the session send an RSVP to Alex Galarza (galarza.alex AT gmail). FSF conducts its online sessions with Zoom. As always, the event will be recorded and archived on this website for those who cannot participate.
