Status Updates From String Theory: David Foster...

Getting a little bored with the tennis logistics.

Very technical and detailed explanations of the Qualies. He writes so well I’m still somehow entertained. The player style description is also so creative and impressive. Foot notes are growing on me.

Story at the end of Derivative sport was awesome. Wholesome and well written story about his life. I had never heard of Tracy Austin but I see why he loves her. And what a great story to follow up his own youth sports life with someone who actually did it perfect. Cool reflection of what special qualities world class athletes have we don’t and why there translation of that is almost impossible to understand.

Very interesting writing style. Sentences are paragraphs long with stream of consciousness subject jumping. Love that he writes about the Illinois suburbs making it feel familiar for me. Part of me thinks pretentious with how in depth he analyzed and hyped up junior high tennis, but part of me acknowledges that that level of insight is pretty cool and feels niche.
