Please join us in congratulating our colleague, Professor John Zilcosky, whose recent article “Wrestling with My Father” has won the annual Best Article Prize from the Journal of Sport History. The editor of the journal, Professor Daniel Nathan, describes the article in the following terms:
‘A poignant, multi-layered meditation on a dysfunctional father-son relationship, Zilcosky’s essay is rigorous, creative, and, in the end, hopeful. It’s a compelling fusion of mythology, the Bible, literature, art, sport, history, and memoir. Zilcosky’s work is deeply personal, interdisciplinary, erudite, and signals the JSH’s embrace of bold originality and fresh creative possibilities. ‘
Warm Congratulations, John!
