A poetic and eloquent meditation on the power of listening.
Martin Flanagan writes for the Age newspaper and is the author of twelve books, among them "The Call", an imaginative re-construction of the life of Tom Wills, a founder of the game, and "The Last Quarter", a trilogy of his football books. What people have said about Martin Flanagan's football writing- -"Martin Flanagan must never be allowed to stop writing football. I say this because he is the only football writer I have read who is so good I think he could nearly describe a heartbeat - and that, if you want to touch the essence of football, is what you have to do" - Don Watson"If I'm ever prompted, I have no hesitation in nominating Martin Flanagan as my favorite writeraI only hope I can see the game off the field as well as he does" - Nathan Buckley"I like Martin's writing, and I know most players do too, because he comes from a different perspective" - James Hird"The best of Flanagan has a finesse and feeling that no current Australian sports-writer approaches, let alone equals" - Gideon Haigh"I love his brain" - Kevin Sheedy
