Sinossi
Bill Rees has been living in the south of France for ten years working as an itinerant bookseller in Montpellier. The one thing he misses about England is table tennis. Then he sees an advert to join a club for “experienced players only” and veterans. He starts training immediately, he’s forty and not as fit as he used to be, but Bill Rees is returning to the game à la carte.

Informazioni sull'autore
Bill Rees lives in Le Vigan (Sud de France), and makes a precarious living by selling used books. He studied at UCNW (Bangor) and Birkbeck College. He worked as a reporter for a local newspaper in London before the lure of travel and bookselling led him to take a less conventional path. His memoir, The Loneliness of the Long Distance Book Runner, was published by Parthian in 2011. In recent years Rees has rediscovered the joys and frustrations of competitive table tennis. An embarrassingly large amount of Rees’s time and energies have been devoted to perfecting his backhand top spin.
