Parma, March 19, 2011 – At 3 o'clock p.m., in the book store "Feltrinelli", Fausto Batella presented his book: "Jack Kerouac. Halfback". There was also Roberto Gotta, the moderator of this event and a famous sports commentator of Rai Sport.
"The text", said the author, "is dedicated to Jack Kerouac, a great American football player in college. In a match, Jack injured himself and gave up the activity. Then he became the father of the beatnik".
"The football", continued Batella, "has been the passport of his second life, the literature".
Batella and Gotta then spoke about the Parma Panthers as the favourite team for the championship victory.
