REMINDER: LAST CHANCE to register for 'THE OTHER OLYMPIANS' BOOK CLUB
join us today!
Thank you so much for being here! I am a full-time freelance writer and paid subscriptions to this newsletter allow me to continue to do work like this. Paid subscribers will also have access to events, like today’s book club discussion. Upgrade here:
REMINDER: The next OOYL book club meeting is today and REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED for access to the event.
We’ll be meeting at 2 PM ET/11 AM PT, and I’ll be joined by author Michael Waters.
The discussion will be recorded and sent out afterwards for people who can’t attend in real time, but you must be registered for the event to receive the recording.
This is another book selection that was requested by Discord members and I’m thrilled about it because I love talking with Michael about his work. Also, just to brag on Michael for a minute, The Other Olympians was a finalist for the 2024 Los Angeles Times Book Prize for History and the 2025 Mark Lynton History Prize, and was named one of the Best Books of 2024 by The New Yorker, NPR and BookPage, nbd. If you’ve been around here for a while, you’ll likely be familiar with this book about the Olympic track athletes who transitioned back in the 1930s, and the origins of sex testing in sport, which can be traced back to Nazi Germany (shocker!).
The paperback edition just came out in June, and I’m so glad we can celebrate that milestone with Michael because paperbacks are not a guarantee in the current publishing landscape.
