By: Mark LeynerFrom his cult classic, I Smell Esther Williams, to his wildly popular and insightful column "Wild Kingdom" appearing in Esquire magazine every month, Mark Leyner has been giving us up close and personal encounters of the most hilarious kind for over a decade.
Now, in his new novel The Tetherballs of Bougainville, Leyner shares with us, long last, the quintessential coming of age story that every writer, at some point, is compelled to tell. In the novel we meet young Mark Leyner, 13-years-old to be exact, as he waits in a New Jersey prison to witness his father's execution. Adolescence is never easy, and it just so happens that this junior high schooler is on deadline to turn in a screenplay for which he has already been awarded the Vincent and Lenore DiGiacomo/Oshimitsu Polymers America Award. And, as it was for all of us during out teenage years, nothing seems to go as planned.
Written as autobiography, screenplay and movie review, The Tetherballs of Bougainville twists three familiar narrative forms into an outlandishly compelling story. Leyner's use of the media-driven formats brilliantly reflects our secret, shameful and hilarious desire to experience our private lives as mass entertainment. The Tetherballs of Bougainville skewers and celebrates American pop culture in the late twentieth century. Leyner's version of our lives is so deeply funny because it is so painfully true.

Shirt worth buying several times
Size: XX-Large, Color: Anthracite Polo Stripe
Purchased another of same order and have found them to be excellent. Comfort, sizing, and quality. Can be dressed up or dressed down and they look great either way.
Worn in very hot weather and have not been oppressed by sweat. Nice. Will be purchasing more. Sizing was great. Loose and long enough to land just right over pants pocket top.

Great Quality and Comfortable Fit
Size: Large, Color: Washed Blue
I picked up the Amazon Essentials Men’s Golf Polo Shirt, and I’m really impressed. The fabric is soft, breathable, and lightweight — perfect for hot days on the golf course or casual wear.
The fit is spot-on, not too tight or too loose, and it looks sharp tucked in or out. It’s held up well after multiple washes without shrinking or losing shape. For the price, it’s excellent quality and a great value.
If you need a reliable, comfortable polo for sports or everyday wear, this one is a solid choice. Highly recommend!

Good quality, but runs a bit short
Size: X-Large, Color: Light Grey Heather
Overall, this is a solid polo for the price. The fabric quality is better than expected, with a nice balance of softness and durability. It’s not paper-thin, but not heavy either, and it does a good job wicking moisture and drying quickly, which is exactly what you want from a golf-style shirt. Functionally, it works well for casual wear, work, or being mildly athletic without committing to actual exercise.
Sizing is mostly on point, and I didn't notice any shrinkage after washing, but I always make sure to air dry this type of material and not throw it in the dryer. My only real gripe is the length. It feels like the shirt should be about 1–2 inches longer. If you raise your arms, people may catch a glimpse of your six-pack (hopefully), and if you bend over… well, let’s just say you'll want to be mindful of who's behind you. If Amazon fixed the length, this would be an easy five-star staple.

We've bought several of these golf shirts and my husband really loves them! They are good at wicking away sweat, they fit great, are easy to care for and are well made.
