WRITING
A Fan for all seasons
My debut book, A Fan For All Seasons (Vintage) is a memoir about sport and grief, in memory of my brother Dan, who died in 2015 aged just 43. It received rave reviews in The Sunday Times and The Daily Mail, and I wrote exclusive features for The Times, The Evening Standard and The Big Issue. You can buy it here.
“Such a good story. Touching, heartfelt, funny, informative and beautifully written too.”
“A heartfelt memoir through grief, family and a very funny, obsessive love of sports.”
“A lovely, funny, sad and happy book about sport, life, death and remembrance.”
“This is important. Warm, sad and funny. CS Lewis’s ‘A Grief Observed’ for the Fever Pitch set.”
“Vivid and funny. A wonderfully touching book.”
“Excellent.”
“Brilliant. Most men use sport as a way of avoiding having to talk to each other about their feelings. Jon Harvey has turned this idea on its head and used it as a way of understanding his own loss and grief. ”
