Description: There's Always This Year by Hanif Abdurraqib Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A poignant, personal reflection on basketball, talent and allegiance, and of course, LeBron James..."-- Publisher Description A poignant, personal reflection on basketball, talent and allegiance, and of course, LeBron James-from the author of the National Book Award finalist A Little Devil in AmericaWhile Hanif Abdurraqib is an acclaimed author, a gifted poet, and one of our cultures most insightful critics, he is most of all, at heart, an Ohioan. Growing up in Columbus in the 1990s, Abdurraqib witnessed a golden era of basketball, one in which legends like LeBron were forged, and countless others werent. His lifelong love of the game leads Abdurraqib into a lyrical, historical, and emotionally rich exploration of what it means to make it, who we think deserves success, the tensions between excellence and expectation, and the very notion of role models, all of which he expertly weaves together with memoir. "Here is where I would like to tell you about the form on my fathers jumpshot," Abdurraqib writes. "The truth, though, is that I saw my father shoot a basketball only one time."Theres Always This Year is a classic Abdurraqib triumph, brimming with joy, pain, solidarity, comfort, outrage, and hope. Its about basketball in the way They Cant Kill Us Until They Kill Us is about music and A Little Devil in America is about history-no matter the subject, Abdurraqibs exquisite writing is always poetry, always profound, and always a clarion call to radically reimagine how we think about our culture, our country, and ourselves.
