Summary
Details

A Type of Life is the memoir of writer/author Boti Nagy, eighth child in a migrant family fleeing post-World War II Europe for a better life in Australia.

Growing up in the shadow of his basketball stars, award-winning siblings and prominent parents, before injury prematurely ended his burgeoning sporting career, it crystallised his path as a journalist, working for 43 years for News Ltd, now News Corp.

Initially at The News and Sunday Mail newspapers in Adelaide, Nagy cut his teeth on the tough Courts round during the Truro serial murder trials and several other major cases which shaped South Australia. Ultimately specialising as a basketball writer, he was present at the formation of the National Basketball League in 1979 and Women’s National Basketball League in 1981, growing to national prominence as the sport’s most respected “must-read” journalist.

This is a coming-of-age story, of assimilating into a foreign culture and becoming a multiple awardwinner as a writer, an insider account of a sport’s growth and written with humour and the joy of many wonderful recollections featuring the biggest names in the game.
