SUZY STUMP: HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE >>>

Not that I don’t appreciate the many out-of-town fiction and nonfiction authors that the Tacoma Public Library brings in for book readings and signings, but it’s always nice to be reminded of the local talent. Today, the library presents a reading and signing by The News Tribune sports columnist Dave Boling, whose book Guernicachronicles the bombing of the Basque city during the Spanish Civil War.

Boling wrote almost the entire novel while traveling with the Seattle Seahawks. This year, with Seattle football teams on his mind, I believe he’s writing a book titled The Complete Guide to Idiotic Football.
