Mickey Mantle loved sex. And getting drunk. Those are the topics of discussion as the baseball hero, now in heaven, pulls up a chair with writer Leonard Shecter. Together they rehash Mantle's life, from his X-rated bedroom exploits and his treatment of fans to his relationship with the media and his phenomenal career. Nothing is left uncovered in a story that reveals Mantle's dark side.Only two main voices are needed from Alan Smithee -- a drawly, scratchy Oklahoma twang for Mantle and a low, whispery tone for Shecter. The novel, rooted in truths, is a remorseful confession for Mantle as, in his own way, he faces the demons that shaped his life. Smithee -- a traditional pseudonym in the entertainment industry -- is wonderful as ball player and writer.

In Mickey Mantle we see America's romance with boldness, its celebration of muscle, and its comfort in power during a time when might did make right.

During six years of research, formerSports Illustratedwriter Tony Castro interviewed more than 250 friends, teammates, lovers, acquaintances, and drinking buddies of one of America's most famous sports stars.
