William Finnegan
[isbn]
A surfer’s story written in witty, literary prose, Barbarian Days tells the honest truth about what life was like before every wave was a known commodity. Finnegan’s ability to describe waves and the experience of surfing translates well to both those familiar with the sport and the uninitiated. A can’t-miss read for the lover of a great, true story. It won the Pulitzer Prize to boot.
