Daniel James Brown About his surprise bestseller The Boys in the Boat, new in paperback and optioned in Hollywood, our Daniel Person wrote last year: “During the ’30s, the UW and Berkeley became staunch rivals of Ivy League oarsmen. Joe Rantz’s eight-man team celebrates its victories in Hogwarts fashion. Then the rowers set their eyes upon that most evil of opponents: Voldemort . . . er, Hitler. Chosen to represent the U.S. at the 1936 Olympics, our homegrown boys would give Adolf one more thing to scowl at.” It’s a true story with a happy ending.
