| Description: |
Every sport claims to be the world's game-soccer, basketball, kabadi. If you throw in a billion Chinese aficionados, it is no empty boast to claim that ping pong is the most popular yet little exposed pastime in the world today. This title tells the little-known story of this almighty subculture. |
| Synopsis: |
One billion Chinese pong fans can't be wrong. With an all-star team of contributing writers-including Nick Hornby, Will Shortz, Davy Rothbart, Harold Evans, and Jonathan Safran Foer-and quirky, fascinating images of table tennis from around the world, editors Eli Horowitz (McSweeny's) and Roger Bennet (creator of Bar Mitzvah Disco and Camp Camp) deliver a humorous but heartfelt paean to ping pong, the world's most popular, yet least appreciated sport. Everything You Know Is Pong is a beautifully designed literary tribute to every aspect of table tennis, the true global pastime. |
