Barney’s Version misses every opportunity for raucous, picaresque fun that the book throws its way while squandering a wealth of transatlantic performing talent led by Paul Giamatti.

When LeBron James got traded to the Miami Heat, you reveled in the jilted ex-lover-like hysteria that came from his hometown and welcomed the A-game baller to Miami with open arms and high-dollar eBay bids on game-day tickets. But with him or without him, there’s still not too much you…

Its aim is to bring together young professionals, between 21 and 45, who have an interest in supporting the…
