Game Day by Miriam Sved
Requirements: ePUB reader, 2.6MB
Overview: The ruckmen face off over the centre circle and for a moment everything is frozen possibility:
players, umpire, the ball suspended overhead, the softly clouded sky.
Everything except the fans, a circus beyond the stillness.
Then the ball swings down and cracks it all open.
The new draft pick, the tired has-been, the up-and-comer, the might-have-been. The talent scout, the coach on the edge, the beleaguered umpire, the concerned medic. The number-one fan, the lifetime members, the desperate gamblers. The footballers' mums, the WAGs, the groupies. The tags, the rivals, the sledging.
The pressure.
In Game Day, Miriam Sved brings this beast into the light over the course of one season of Aussie Rules. What unfolds is a deeply insightful novel about the pathology of an AFL club, its players and its fans. Revelling in their battles, their victories and their relentless interdependence, Game Day asks whether what unites the true believers is stronger than what divides them, and if love of the game can transcend our flaws and imperfections to result in something beautiful.
Sved's debut novel is a poignant and clear-eyed exploration of what sport means for Australians, and the intensity with which we pursue and cherish it.
Genre: Fiction, Literature, Australian
