Inman Majors’ Winning Ways

It’s short. It’s fast. It’s topical. It’s got a traditional hero to cheer for, says its author. It’s Love’s Winning Plays (W.W. Norton) by novelist Inman Majors (pictured, in a warm family photo by Christy Majors).

But where are the student players in this, Majors’ great comic sendup of Southeastern Conference football? There are no student players — on or off the field. And where are the football games? There are no games — except for the ones played between a powerhouse university football program and its friends — or are they foes? Loyal fans, demanding alumni, smarmy sportswriters, and chat-room screwballs.
