The man in the flying lawn chair and other excursions and observations

"George Plimpton needed no encouragement. If there was a sport to play, a party to throw, a celebrity to amaze, a fireworks display to ignite, Plimpton was front and center hurling the pitch, popping the corks, lighting the fuse - and then, of course, writing about it with incomparable zest and style."--BOOK JACKET.
