Peter Bodo
Edit ProfileCareer
He is also an occasional columnist for the "Outdoor" section of the New York Times and for the Atlantic Salmon Journal. Bodo claims that his writing style is based on the idea that absolute objectivity is impossible. However, some readers have noted that Bodo, despite his Austrian birth, has a strong and regularly repeated bias in favor of American tennis players, in favor of an American or "midwestern" lifestyle, and in favor of an American style of sports, as contrasted with European tennis players, European sports, and European mores.
He is also noted for his enthusiasm in promoting the sport of tennis, but he sees this enthusiasm as "the logical outcome" of his writing rather than being a "guiding principle".
Early influences on Bodo"s journalistic writing style include Frank Deford, Curry Kirkpatrick, George Plimpton, Norman Mailer, Dave Anderson and Hunter South. Thompson.
Achievements
Views
He purports to feel that each of his opinions must be defended with "well-reasoned, if not provable or objective, "truths."" He also says that he has few "strong, personal" feelings about players and believes that most of his readers understand the "fun" present in his writing.
