Robert Lipsyte has led a fascinating life, and been privy to some pretty awesome historical moments in sports. In his new book, An Accidental Sportswriter, he invites readers into his life, from his unlikely beginnings as a greenhorn reporter covering Muhammad Ali's life changing fight with Sonny Liston, to his long time friendship with the iconic Howard Cosell.
The Daily Beast's, Brian Curtis, wrote an excellent review for his "pal" Robert, but if you'd rather not read the entire thing, Balkin Buddies has parsed out the particularly good bits.
