Mason Randall’s Reviews > The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics > Status Update

This book is a frame-narrative about Joe Rantz, the main character, who goes back in time to tell his story about his rowing days at the University of Washington. We know that this team was very special to Joe for two reasons: they won a gold medal, and Joe began to cry when he thought about his team members, coaches and the boat. So far, we have met the coach, who is suppose sly a great coach but is very quiet.
