Powered by RedCircle

Christopher Clarey is is the tennis correspondent for The New York Times and has covered international sports for nearly thirty years for the Times and International Herald Tribune, where he was chief sports correspondent and a longtime columnist. In his new bestseller, THE MASTER, Chris sits down with Roger Federer and those closest to him to tell the story of the greatest player in men's tennis.

In this episode of How Do You Do? Podcast, Ben asks Chris how he found a compelling story while writing about a non-controversial athlete, how he asked athletes to reflect on painful moments in their careers, how he decided when to interject himself as a character in his book vs. when to step back, and more.
