Review :
"40 for 40" isn't just a look at Jay's history of stories he's written, it's a brief history book of our community over the past four decades. Jay writes in a way that you can almost hear him telling you the stories in person and makes you feel a personal connection to the individuals in his stories. He truly is a gifted writer and someone who has helped bring the community together through his works." -Michael Nicholson, Mayor of Gardner, Massachusetts "Jay's voice, confident, calm, reasonable, hopeful, is so rare in this sports writing cacophony it should be must reading for anyone who loves the games we play and the good they can do us." -Robert Lipsyte, Award-winning New York Times sportswriter, author of The Contender "40 for 40" is a little gem that shines brilliantly. Jay Gearan's clarity, compassion and knack for storytelling are showcased in these pages, a marvelous example of his humanity and craftsmanship." -Tim Murphy, Former managing editor, Golf World Magazine "There is no higher calling in the sportswriting business than covering the teams and people in the place where you live. The stories are close, personal, tales of neighbors and friends and friends of friends winning or losing or simply surviving. The local sportswriter captures exceptional moments for normal local people, shares them with the rest of us and saves them forever. Jay Gearan in '40 For 40, ' delivers a master class in how this is done. Terrific. -Leigh Montville, New York Times bestselling author, former Boston Globe columnist and Sports Illustrated senior writer "Jay has an eye and an ear for good stories, and he tells them with style and sensitivity." -Dave Greenslit, Former sports editor Worcester Telegram & Gazette "Jay has covered local sports for as long as I can remember. His curious and caring approach towards sports writing has resulted in timeless stories that bring substance and joy to the reader." -Eric Dawley, Director of Athletics Oakmont Regional High School
