Gordon Forbes played tennis for the South African Davis Cup team in the 50s and early 60s and returned to the circuit as a writer and observer.
'A riotously extroverted memoir. I can't get out of my mind some of
the funny series that Mr Forbes paints'
CHRISTOPHER LEHMANN-HAUPT, New York Times 'Mesmerising, the most
jingly-jangly hilarious sporting memoir that can ever have been
written'
GUARDIAN 'If you want to know what it is like to play on the tour,
read 'A Handful of Summers'‘
ROD LAVER 'Forbes spares few, least of all himself, in this honest,
at times hilarious, at times almost whimsical, account of the weird
and wonderful world of the tennis star'
SUNDAY TIMES 'Rollicking, outrageous, raucous and riveting – I
laughed my head off'
SUNDAY EXPRESS
