1. Dead Solid Perfect
A wry, fast-paced novel that follows a hard-driving professional golfer through a season on the tour as he handles tournaments, sponsor obligations, media attention, injuries and messy personal relationships, exposing the vanity, loneliness and absurdities of life in high-stakes sports; equal parts comic and unsentimental, it portrays how obsession with performance shapes a player’s identity and private life.
