Jeff Pearlman- THE LAST FOLK HERO The Life and Myth of Bo Jackson

THE LAST FOLK HERO: The Life and Myth of Bo Jackson by acclaimed  sportswriter Jeff Pearlman. Hailed as a “master storyteller” (NPR.org), Pearlman is the New York Times bestselling  author of nine previous books on iconic subjects, including ‘80s Los Angeles Lakers (Showtime, the basis for the hit 2022  HBO series Winning Time, directed by Adam McKay), the 1986 New York Mets (The Bad Guys Won), the ‘90s Dallas  Cowboys (Boys Will Be Boys), and NFL legend Walter Payton (Sweetness). Now, Pearlman turns his remarkable talents to  a figure he considers to be in a class of his own, indeed the greatest athlete of all time, who forever redefined the  modern sports superstar.
