Grant Farred remembers the exact moment that 52 years of intense allegiance to Liverpool Football Club (LFC) began. He also remembers how and when it took on a new, less-consuming form.
Farred, a professor in the Africana Studies and Research Center, and professor of literatures in English, in the College of Arts and Sciences, chronicles his passionate, albeit long-distance love for his Reds – and an unexpected bonding with the Cornell men’s basketball team, spurred in part by his hoops-loving teenaged son Ezra – in “A Sports Odyssey: My Ithaca Journal,” published July 25 by Temple University Press.
