Helen Garner is an accomplished screenwriter, novelist, short story writer, and journalist. In her late 70s searching for something to write about she settled upon a year of watching her 16-year-old grandson play Australian rules football, known colloquially as footie. She knows next to nothing about the game, but goes to every practice and records what she sees with the acuity of an eagle. The results in the hands of such a gifted writer feel like attending a year-long meditation.
