What is the author's style in That Championship Season by Jason Miller?

The realism of That Championship Season is underscored by its dialogue. The characters speak bluntly, using the vernacular (common, everyday language). The characters' interactions are laden with slang, vulgarities, and racist and sexist comments. The characters also speak in pauses, their thoughts are incomplete. The realistic dialogue under-scores the time, place, and fraternity these men have together. Their familiarity allows them to speak uninhibitedly. Thus, Miller's realistic dialogue makes That Championship Season all the more believable to audiences, and the situations depicted become more credible.
