From ping-pong detente in China to the underground bars of New York City, Charyn details the sport's history while capturing the intellect, excitement, and anarchic spirit of ping-pong's golden age. This offbeat and entertaining chronicle of one of the world's quirkier Olympic sports is presented in a completely redesigned trade paper edition. Table tennis can now add to its two certified American superstar players a certified American superstar chronicler -- The New York Times Both an informed history and an intimate memoir.
