Description

Dame Bola takes us on a journey through the rich football-related language - phrases, concepts and stories - used by arguably the most passionate football fans in world football. Futbol dominates Argentinian society's machinery - the cogs of their world simply wouldn't turn without a metaphorical mention of football in every sentence.

About the author

Half-English, half-Norwegian, Christopher Hylland grew up in England before regularly moving between Norway and the UK. In 2013, he moved to Argentina with a further two years in Peru and Colombia, travelling across the South American continent on his way. Having spent significant time in Buenos Aires, Hylland is well placed to delve deep into Argentinian language, culture and identity. This is his second book.
