Perhaps just as important as the pinnacle of an artist’s career is the time when they determine that their career may come to a close. Former All-Pro running back for the San Francisco 49ers and the Miami Dolphins Delvin Williams and award-winning writer Geoff Dyer discuss this very enigma. While Williams’ book chronicles his experience from poverty-stricken childhood in inner-city Houston to football industry super-stardom, Dyer’s work poses his own encounter with middle age against the last days and works of the artists that have influenced him.
