Of his latest book, Ultimate Glory, David Gessner (MEngl) writes: āIt is the story of the 15 years of my life I spent dedicated to playing Ultimate Frisbee braided together with a history of that strange sport. The last six of those years were spent playing for the Boulder team, and Colorado plays a key role in the bookā¦ Wildness has always been a key theme for me and those were wild years. But this is also a book about nonconformity during the age of Reagan, about what it means to dedicate yourself to something that many others consider ridiculous. In this way it is a portrait of an artist as a young Ultimate player. And, more directly, it is also about my own simultaneous struggle to become a writer, another āridiculousā pursuit.ā
