...took up dentistry again. So what? a reader might ask. "I wasn't sure there would be any interest in this story," Seth confides from the office of his London publisher. "My mother asked me to interview Shanti Uncle because he was sick and lonely. She thought it would cheer him, and I thought it was my duty as a son and great-nephew. But his verve and the story itself convinced me there was something there, the relationship between two remarkable people." They made a strange couple.

It's one thing to admire sport and watch it for its beauty and elegance. That makes sense. But to care and cheer and stomp for other grown men to win? That's bizarre. These brutes throw chairs at fans. They take steroids and pretend it mysteriously got into their cereal. They curse and spit and scratch their groins and then whack the cameraman who chronicles their every move for the worshipful masses...
