JOE QUEENAN – Keep Your Team Out of My Book – The TimesI could tell from the headline who wrote the article above.
Queenan won’t read novels that involve New York Yankees, Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Lakers or Duke fans. That’s fine and I see his point about frontrunning — he wrote a chapter in [...]
