    Editor of the New York Times House and Home section for seven years, Michael Cannell has written about sports for The New Yorker, the New York Times Magazine, and Sports Illustrated. Chronicling the 1961 Grand Prix season, which culminated in one of the deadliest races in the Circuit’s history, Cannell’s new book The Limit tells the true story of Phil Hill, a California mechanic who became the first American to win the Grand Prix championship, defying expectations around the world.
