Fever Pitch

Fever Pitch is the story of a football fan. The reader doesn’t know his name, but he can guess that the story is autobiographical, and the fan is Nick Hornby himself. His favorite club is Arsenal London.

The book has no plot like a novel or a love story, but it’s divided into three stages of the life of the narrator. These stages are his childhood (1968-1975), his adolsescence (1976-1986) and his manhood (1986-1992). The chapters contain different football games of Arsenal and the narrator connects each game with a memory of his life. I think the story is autobiographical because narrator and author have the same key dates of their lives. Hornby seems to write about his feelings and his point of view.
