Better Living Through Focus: A Review of Free Darko's Macrophenomenal Pro Basketball Almanac
Hardwood Paroxysm — When my advance copy for review of Free Darko's book arrived, I just looked at it for a second, like it was a bear cub or a scorpion. I gingerly put it down and only returned when I was sure I had the time to go through it. I expected it to be like the blog, an extrapolation of jungle-density prose and vague constructions of abstract basketball philosophy. But truth be told, the book isn't like ...

Meet TJ at Free Darko Night, Powell's Bookstore TONIGHT
Loaded Orygun - Front Page — You might think that Bethlehem Shoals is where Jewish people vacation in Alabama, but it's actually the nom de plume of the blogauthor for Free Darko, a nationally-known hoops blog. Nathaniel Friedman is the name of the actual human, and both of them will be in town tonight at Powell's for a reading from his new book, the Macrophenomenal Basketball Almanac. Billed as a book for both the hardcore hoops fan and the neophyte reader who isn't even sure s/he likes sports, it's a neat volume that undoubtedly will be made neater by the presence of the author.  The sponsor for tonight's reading will be the boys at Blazer's Edge, Dave and Ben. They're becoming semi-national blog ...
