Specificatii
Small Puddles is about rowing, rites of passage, persistence, and
trying to find your way. Michael "Zig" Danziger projects a certain
devil-may-care persona. But don't let the larger-than-life,
hail-fellow-well-met routine fool you - there is far more to his
story than being born on third base. Zig's intense experience as a
Yale oarsman is a case study on the journey itself being the
reward. He was never going to make the first varsity boat, or the
second. Not even the third boat. But he worked his ass off to earn
a seat in the fourth boat - and became a Yale Crew legend. Small
Puddles tells the story of those years at Yale and the people who
shaped Zig's one-of-a-kind view of the world. A story of tenacity,
determination, and unrelenting sticktoitiveness. Small Puddles is a
heart-warming and hilarious memoir, but don't expect to read about
what a saint Zig is. He's no saint. And don't expect any syrupy
soft-focus vignettes of New England collegiate life. Zig's raucous
yarns, spun one after another, are warts-and-all, high-definition
windows into the glory days. No punches pulled. Raucous, ribald,
ridiculous, raunchy, romantic, and relatable. Small Puddles has
plenty for everyone, but anyone who has had the good fortune to
pull an oar will feel Zig's pain. Up and down stadium stairs until
you can't walk another step? Barfed after crushing an erg piece?
Pulled a power ten? Given a shirt? Gotten a shirt? Been up at 5am
for practice after a big night out? Felt the adrenaline surge at
"Etes-vous pr Et? Partez "? Stood on the bank to cheer friends at
The Head of the Charles, The Dad Vails, Eastern Sprints, Henley?
Don't miss this book. Enjoyed other rowing books? If you think you
might enjoy a version of Halberstam's The Amateurs co-authored with
Tucker Max, or you're hoping Quentin Tarantino might direct the
film adaptation of The Boys In the Boat, don't miss this one.
