FEVER PITCH

INTERPRETING PAGES 15-20

in these five few pages of the unpleasantly 239 long pages of NICK HORNBY'S FEVER PITCH(at least to me, anyway),Mr. Hornby finds himself excited to have a new determining factor in his otherwise not-so-exhilerating life, as well as a new mode communication, especially with his rather estranged "fatha" which he himself,somewhere between hesitantly and with pleasure, concedes in his book.
in any case, this new "determining factor" and "mode of communication" we're alluding to is football(the one where you exclusively utilize and play with your two legs and contact with hands is forbidden?huh?)
but this new dimension in his life serves to undermine his already fragile life through "severe disappointments" that "threaten"... him with "permanent,depressive insanity",as he so wittingly puts it.
his love of the game backfires,SEVERELY, in the form of "constant betrayals" on the part of his father (because of the low passion he has for the game.)(to the contrary, the son is "obsessed" with the game,as he admittingly reveals in the book.)
