The once-vaunted Green Bay Packers were a laughingstock by the late 1950s. They hadn t fielded a winning team in more than a decade, and were close to losing their franchise to another city. They were in desperate need of a savior and he arrived in a wood-paneled station wagon in the dead of winter from New York City. In a single year, Vince Lombardi the grizzled coach who took no bull transformed a team of underachievers into winners and resurrected a Wisconsin city known for its passion for sport. He would lead them to championship to championship, and bring out the best in players including Bart Starr, Jim Taylor, Willie Davis, Forrest Gregg, and many more. From an award-winning sportswriter, That First Season is a compelling read about perhaps the most compelling coach ever to stride an NFL sideline (Washington Times). Richly detailed in seamless prose, this is historical sportswriting at its finest. Lars Anderson, New York Times bestselling author of The Mannings: The Fall and Rise of a Football Family

Tennessee Williams and William Inge today are recognized as two of the greatest American playwrights, whose work irrevocably altered the theatrical and social landscapes.

Based on real-life but closed-door encounters, reconstructed from troves of comments (and elisions) by each man about their relationship, Philip Dawkins gorgeously envisions what might have taken place during those early-career meetings.
