Norman Mailer’s Tough Guys Don’t Dance tells the story of a group of aging, washed-up Buffalo Bills football players who decide to give it one final shot at the pros. The players, led by aging quarterback Frank Gifford, travel to the Bahamas to play in a charity game against a team of young, up-and-coming Bahamian players. Despite their age and experience, the Bills are trounced by the young players, and Gifford is humiliated in front of his fans. The players return home to Buffalo broken and despondent. However, Mailer shows them that the experience of playing in the Bahamas has given them new respect for themselves and each other.; 8vo; 229 pages.
