In Butch Wilkins and the Sundance Kid, author Nige Tassell chronicles his decade-long obsession with televised sports during his teenage years in the 1980s. With nostalgia, humor, and surprising insight, Tassell chronicles his desperate navigation through TV schedules in a hopeless devotion to any sport he could find.
