⚽️ Episode 48: A Season with Verona — Tim Parks and the Tifosi 🇮🇹

 

After the drama of our last episode, we’re staying in Italy with another unfashionable football club. This time it’s Hellas Verona, a club known as much for its tifosi as for its football 🔵🟡

 

Back in 2000, British author and horny English teacher Tim Parks embarked on a wild year with the Verona faithful, traveling the length and breadth of Italy as the club battled its way through 34 games to see if they could say in Serie A 🚆🔥

 

The result, A Season with Verona, is part travelogue, part meditation on fandom, and part fever dream — a portrait of Italy seen through blue-and-yellow smoke 🇮🇹💨

 

Can Parks match the magic (and madness) of Joe McGinniss’s Miracle of Castel di Sangro? 📖⚡️

Join us for Episode 48 of The Dynamo Football Book Club to find out 🎙️📚
