#4Rather, "Nobody Will Admit that A Novel about Football is the Best Novel of Our Generation". This does not appear to be about people denying that the book is about football.
Also, the novel is actually a novella.
Also, it seems not to be a book, but a web page:

[EDIT] Also, from the story:

[ANOTHER EDIT]
Further into the story now—in case it helps anyone decide whether or not to read it, this isn't slightly-twisted reality or magical realism or light urban fantasy or any of that, really, but full-on dream-logic.

That was my first thought, but it's The Tim Tebow CFL Chronicles by the same guy (John Bois).

#6The History of the Seattle Mariners and Atlanta Falcons are two fantastic documentaries produced by the author of the discussed novel.

#8When I read the title of this post, Jon Bois was the first thing that came to mind. 17776 is one of my all time favorite websites, and my goto example of amazing hypertext fiction.

#9I agree with the headline, but the article does not seem to be describing Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett... :)

Yeah. This is kinda what really good media reviewing should look like. An earnest, thoughtful explanation of why this book (or movie, or whatever) is important and worth absorbing.
