Sorry about that: I don't believe it of his sportswriting, and I sure don't believe it of Sting-Ray Afternoons. As a journalist once put it: "Writing is easy. All you do is stare at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead." Sting-Ray is a small, incandescent work of memory, imagination and artistry, and books like this don't come easily. With what I suspect was far greater effort than he would let on, Rushin has accomplished the memorialist's task: to find shape and meaning in his own life, and to make it interesting and pertinent to us readers. In lovely, funny, acrobatic prose, he's told a story that's deeply American, one in which you'll find echoes of your own, yet in the end is very much his own. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Romper Stompers, Kick the Can - Great Memories and a Wonderful Message *by M***O on Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2017* I read this book like I read the Sears Christmas Wish Book as a child - with hunger and zeal. So many great memories unearthed in this read but with a message as well, revealed with subtlety with the turn of a page. Such a treasure. One of my new all-time favorites. Simply a wonderful story told by a man skilled in his craft. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am not a child of the 70's *by A***3 on Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2017* I am a 74 year-old woman who reared three children in a small Midwestern town in the 70's. Steve Rushin's story is his, not mine, but it certainly has elements with which I identified. Beyond that, it is just a great read. It is very unusual for a book to make me laugh out loud but this one did. His writing is as enjoyable as his story. Can you tell I loved this book? I read a lot, and I seldom give any book more than three stars because I find most of the things that I read are ordinary good books. I am giving this book 5 stars and recommending it for anyone from YA on up who likes a good and well written story. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/113797020-sting-ray-afternoons-a-memoir](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/113797020-sting-ray-afternoons-a-memoir) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
