"Hanif Abdurraqib writes, 'You are, in part, who loves you.' I've never read a book more full of love - heartbreaking, poetic, rapturous - than There's Always This Year. He loves basketball, his court, his block, his city, but most of all his people, and he beautifully shares that in this indelible and mesmerizing book. Abdurraqib has written not only the most original sports book I've ever read but one of the most moving books I've ever read, period. It's utterly transcendent." - Steve James, Director of Hoop Dreams. "Hanif Abdurraqib again shows us new ways to be a social critic, a dreamer, a historian, and a lover of hoop. But - and this feels especially moving - he shows us how he wonders about, and how he is transformed in the wondering about, what it means to belong to a place. And you know by place I mean the people, the memories, the sorrows, the tomorrows, who are that place. And you know by all that I mean the love." - Ross Gay, author of The Book of Delights. "Hanif Abdurraqib is one of the finest authors working in America, and this book contains, I would argue, the sharpest, most insightful, most poignant writing of his career. It's incredible. It's fat with emotion and love and earnestness and basketball, four of the very best things, packaged and delivered in a way that only Abdurraqib can." - She Serrano, author of Basketball (And Other Things). "From Hanif Abdurraqib, MacArthur Fellow and author of The National Book Award Finalist A Little Devil in America, comes a poignant, personal reflection on basketball, life, and home. Growing up in Columbus, Ohio, in the 1990s, Hanif Abdurraqib witnessed a golden era of basketball, one in which legends like LeBron James were forged and countless others weren't. His lifeloong 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 tension between excellence and expectaion, and the very notion of role models, all of which he expertly weaves together with intimate, personal storytelling. "Here is where I would like to tell you about the form on my father's jump shot," Abdurraqib writes. "The truth, though, is that I saw my father shoot a basketball only one time." There's Always This Year is a triumph, brimming with joy, pain, solidarity, comfort, outrage, and hope. No matter the subject of his keen focus - whether it's basketball, or music, or performance - Hanif Abdurraqib's 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." - from the inner front jacket flap.
