The quarterback’s move to a small city in a foreign land leads to a series of cultural misadventures. The idea for the novel grew out of time Grisham spent in Italy researching his last novel, The Broker, which was set in Bologna. “I was pleasantly surprised to find real American football in Italy,” says Grisham, “and as I dug deeper a novel came together. The research was tough – food, wine, opera, football, Italian culture – but someone had to do it.”Mon, 04 Jun 2007 07:21:30 GMThttp://www.johngrisham.co.uk/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=7John Grisham received a lifetime achievement award at the Galaxy British Book Awards.
