More than Maradona by Kirsten Schlewitz

More than Maradona by Kirsten Schlewitz

This first English-language history of one of Italy's most popular teams appeals to both supporters and newcomers alike, revealing the reasons so many are smitten with SSC Napoli, even before they won their third title.

Kirsten Schlewitz fell in love with soccer when she was only four years old, running around the dirt fields of Central California. After a decade spent working in sports media, she cofounded Unusual Efforts, a community dedicated to elevating the voices of women-cis and trans-and nonbinary persons in soccer.

Writing is her passion project; her pieces have appeared at ESPN and Then Guardian, among many other outlets, and she often consults on soccer-related stories for international media. Kirsten is part of the Far From Vesuvius network, which provides content to Napoli fans, as well as The Gentleman Ultra, a site for all things interesting about Serie A.

Currently, she is tying together her BA in International Political Economy and her JD in International Law as she pursues a Masters in Justice and Reconciliation, applying her writing and editing skills to peace building efforts in the Balkans. Kirsten firmly believes that sport can be used to establish and repair relationships between individuals, communities, and countries.

She splits her time between Belgrade, Serbia and the Pacific Northwest, but part of her heart always lingers in Naples.
