Fever Pitch Fever Pitch Fever Pitch: A Fan's Life is a 1992 autobiographical essay by British author Nick Hornby. The book is the basis for two films: "Fever Pitch" (1997, UK) and "Fever Pitch" (2005, U.S.). The first edition was subtitled "A Fan's Life", but later paperback editions were not. "Fever Pitch", first published in 1992, is Hornby's first novel. It tells the story of the author's relationship with football and with Arsenal Football Club, in particular. It consists of several chapters in chronological order, from the time the author first became a football fan as a child until his early thirties.
