Critical Acclaim for Prairie Blitz
Stew Magnuson is an award winning author from Washington
DC who wrote a book review on Prairie Blitz: A Year of High School Football on
America’s 50 yard line, for his blog.
Magnuson
writes: “David Almany, documented the
meaning of football in three towns on Highway 83 in his 2011 book: Prairie
Blitz: High School Football on America’s 50 Yard Line. This is the second book
(that I know of) published about Highway 83, following A Whole Lot of Nothing
published in Dutch by photographer Maarten Laupman and writer Rob Daniels, two
men from the Netherlands.
Unlike
Laupman, Daniels and myself, who have traveled Highway 83 in what can only be
described as whirlwind tours, Almany had the opportunity to reside, at least
temporarily, in these three towns and really understand what makes them tick.
I attempted
to reach Almany for an interview, but have been unsuccessful so far. But I
wanted to call attention to this remarkable book ahead of the football season.
I can only hope that he sees this article and gets a hold of me someday.
Football fans will enjoy Prairie Blitz.”
