Friends, after adecade of toil and strife, my satirical novel, “Big Time” is available forpreorder at the usual sites, like Amazonand Bookshopor Barnes& Noble. 

Big Time is anoff-beat, subversive anti-sports novel—with an unlikely heroine—thatsatirizes the lofty place of athletics on American college campuses. At CoorsState University, two old history professors decide to take their belovedschool back, and stage campus protests, 1960s style.  If all of this seems timely and important,well, maybe it is.  My hope is that youmight preorder…or spread the word on social media. October is the release date.Thanks so much….

          —Jesse Washington, ESPN - Andscape,co-author of I Came As a Shadow. 

 

“BigTime is a subversive, sidesplitting, screwballof a novel. More important, it’s a commentary on the role of sports on ourcollege campuses and an examination of what that means for American societytoday.”
