bert Lipsyte was born January 16, 1938, in New York City and he has stayed there most of his life. He was the son of Sidney I. and Fanny Lipsyte. He attended Columbia University and he earned his B.A. in 1957 and his M.S. in 1959. He married Marjorie L. Rubin and they had two children, Sam and Susannah. After Marjorie died, Robert married his current wife, Katherine L. Sulkes. From 1959 to 1967 he was a sports reporter for the New York Times and in 1967 he switched to being a sports columnist for the New York Times and he did that until 1971. In the year 1961 he had military service when he served in the US Army. He soon figured out that he was interested in the implication of sports and how they were used. In 1964 he began covering professional boxing and he became deeply interested with the rise of Muhammad Ali’s career. He later used his experiences in the professional boxing world to write his first novel The Contender and for later books of his, The Brave and The Chief. In 1977 he became a New York Post columnist. From 1982 until 1986 he worked as a sports essayist for the program “Sunday Morning” that was in New York City on CBS. From 1986 through 1988 he worked as a correspondent for NBC. In 1989 and until 1990 he worked in New York City for PBS as the host of the program “The Eleventh Hour.” Throughout his long career of many jobs he has always been a writer and he has also held jobs as a journalism teacher and a radio commentator.

Robert Lipsyte does many things in this book with his writing that show what a great writer he is and show how well he has written these books. Throughout these books he leaves much of the knowledge of what is going on to be desired. I think that is one of the things that makes you want to keep on reading and try to find out what is going because it makes you curious about it. Another thing that he does is he connects the characters in certain ways that makes you understand the characters a lot better and it makes you understand the book a lot better too. That is shown in this selection from The Summerboy, “Cliff avoided me the first few days I was Outside, but then one morning he gave me a curt nod to show he was willing to let bygones be bygones, and I returned the nod to show I didn’t hold a grudge.”(The Summerboy p.83) This shows the relationship between Bobby and Cliff and how they had respect for each other. One other thing that I noticed about Lipsyte’s writing is that he ended each book with the opportunity for a sequel. In each book you could tell that there could be a sequel written to it because he leaves many things untouched that he could have touched on and he leaves a lot of information that you don’t find out. This also makes the books addicting to read and it makes you want to read as much as you can about the book.
