Passion Play: Love, Hope and Heartbreak at the Footy by Matthew Klugman, ISBN 9780980517965

> Sport Books > AFL Books
There's something about Aussie-rules football that drives people to the edge. To the edge of sanity. Something that produces great suffering and joy and an almost insatiable hunger for more. Yet little has been written about the madness and extraordinary passions of those who follow the game. Passion Play takes us on a journey into the dark heart of footy mania, intertwining the stories of fans with insights and questions from the worlds of religious studies, drama and psychoanalysis. Klugman follows the journey of footy fans
obsessed with the promise of premiership victory. Starting with the love of fans for their club, Klugman charts the seasonal life which the pursuit of the premiership sets in motion. The dreams, excitement and fears which rise again with each coming season. The awful
nerves, tension and frustration which football creates. The exhilaration of victory and mind-numbing quality of defeat. And the deeds of heroes, villains and scapegoats which happen in an instant but live on in tales that are told, and retold, over and over again.
Passion Play brings football's weekly rhythms of love, hope and suffering to life.
