Reviews
"Scott Simon's "My Cubs: A Love Story" provides the emotional 108-year backstory. He lays out the context of suffering, of losses, of communal connections and religious devotion....His view -- the fan's perspective -- is no doubt crucial to understanding the significance of last year's World Series." -Rick Maese, The Washington Post "[ My Cubs ] reads more like a memoir or a journal of sorts, at times wistfully cathartic and at others joyously nostalgic." -Cubs Insider "The author is a solid stylist, and his descriptions of Cubs' players, managers, and owners resonate, as do his anecdotes about his wife and daughters as they try to understand his mania." - Kirkus Reviews "A short and heartfelt memoir about his lifelong love for the Chicago Cubs...Simon gives readers a wonderful look at how a Cubs fan--indeed, any devoted fan of any team--has a feeling of 'love, not loyalty.'" -Publishers Weekly "A brisk, sweet romp through Cubs history to the glorious present." -BookPage, "The author is a solid stylist, and his descriptions of Cubs' players, managers, and owners resonate, as do his anecdotes about his wife and daughters as they try to understand his mania." - Kirkus Reviews "A short and heartfelt memoir about his lifelong love for the Chicago Cubs...Simon gives readers a wonderful look at how a Cubs fan--indeed, any devoted fan of any team--has a feeling of 'love, not loyalty.'" -Publishers Weekly "A brisk, sweet romp through Cubs history to the glorious present." -BookPage, "The author is a solid stylist, and his descriptions of Cubs' players, managers, and owners resonate, as do his anecdotes about his wife and daughters as they try to understand his mania." - Kirkus Reviews "A short and heartfelt memoir about his lifelong love for the Chicago Cubs...Simon gives readers a wonderful look at how a Cubs fan--indeed, any devoted fan of any team--has a feeling of 'love, not loyalty.'" -Publishers Weekly

Synopsis
NPR's Scott Simon's personal, heartfelt reflections on his beloved Chicago Cubs, replete with club lore, memorable anecdotes, frenetic fandom and wise and adoring intimacy that have made the world champion Cubbies baseball's most tortured--and now triumphant--franchise. Heartbreak and hope. Charmed and haunted. My Cubs is Scott Simon's love letter to his Chicago Cubs, World Series winners for the first time in over a century. Replete with personal reflections, club lore, memorable anecdotes, and tales of frenetic fandom , My Cubs recounts the franchise's pivotal moments with the wise and adoring intimacy of a long-suffering devotee and Chicago native. Simon illustrates how the condition of "Cubness" has defined the life of so many Chicagoans and how the team's fortunes became intertwined with the aspirations of its faithful. With the curse finally broken on November 2, 2016, My Cubs is the perfect portrayal of paradise lost and found., Scott Simon, host of NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday, is a lifelong Chicago Cubs fan, and in MY CUBS he chronicles his adolescence in Chicago as a die-hard fan to tell the story of the relationship between the team and the neighbourhood and city, and how the condition of Cubness has both charmed and haunted the lives of so many fans. From theories and curses to jinxes and myths, Simon chronicles how a team of loveable losers inspired such fervour and dedication from their fans, and how their 2016 win transcended sports to become an underdog narrative for the whole nation.
