Amazing debut novel by a talented young writer!
Underspin is a novel in stories about Ryan Lo, a table tennis prodigy who seems destined for greatness but ends up dead before his twenty-fifth birthday. Each story is from a different character's POV, from his on-and-off girlfriend Anabel, also a table tennis player, to Herr Doktor Eckert, the German psychologist hired by his table tennis league.
Beautifully written, funny and tragic, this is a book about ambition, envy, and greatness, about getting what you want and then giving up and spinning out!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
