Description
A Vintage Shorts "Short Story Month" Selection Velibor Vasovic is not political. He is a soccer player; has played for Partizan Belgrade and his national team. Scored Partizan's only goal against Real Madrid in the European Cup. He is the rock supporting any defense. But in 1966, he starts playing for Ajax Amsterdam, firmly in the West. And politics catches up to him. Jim Shepard is the wildly inventive guru of the historical fiction short story; a finalist for the National Book Award, and "one of the United States' finest writers" (Joshua Ferris). "Ajax Is All About Attack" is classic Shepard, from the collection Love and Hydrogen. An eBook short.
