The Olympics can stir up sports fandom in the least jock-inclined out there by playing on a heady mix of patriotism, awe, drama, and spectacle. As Amanda Parrish Morgan wrote this week, 'Athleticism, exercise, and sports all lend themselves to heightened narrative stakes.'
Writers utilize the intense emotional and narrative elements found in sports to captivate readers. Books explore themes of physical limits, philosophical reflections, and the thrill of fanhood, intertwining literature and sports.
Books can serve as excellent companions to sporting events. They offer further insights into the world of sports, enhancing the understanding and appreciation of athletic endeavors beyond the competition itself.
