A Harvest is a rich and eclectic collection in which the reader is more likely to come upon a piece on Gerard Manley Hopkins or Walt Whitman than one on Lester Piggot or world-championship boxing.
Through the entire book, the luminous quality of the writing shines through. A Harvest cements best-selling author Con Houlihan's reputation as a man of letters as well as an outstanding sports journalist.
About the author: Con was born, as he puts it himself, in the hill country above Castle Island on the 6th of December 1925, in a blizzard . After working as a teacher he began writing as a journalist producing a column three times a week for the Evening Press. Now he writes for a variety of publications, including the Sunday World and Magill Magazine.
