A Late Return, A by William Rees
Covering one Sunday tournament in the depths of Languedoc when his team bids to make the National Finals, Bill Rees produces a deeply felt and deeply funny homage to the beautiful game of ping-pong. Rees shows the sport for what it is: painful, exhilarating, tactical, fast (especially when his club mate Alain is at the table), consuming.
Bill Rees lives in Le Vigan (Sud de France), and makes a precarious living by selling used books. He studied at UCNW (Bangor) and Birkbeck College. He worked as a reporter for a local newspaper in London before the lure of travel and bookselling led him to take a less conventional path. His memoir, The Loneliness of the Long Distance Book Runner was published by Parthian in 2011. In recent years Rees has rediscovered the joys and frustrations of competitive table tennis. An embarrassingly large amount of Rees’s time and energies have been devoted to perfecting his backhand top spin. A Late Return goes some way to explaining why.
