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 tension between excellence and expectation, 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 fathers jump shot, Abdurraqib writes. The truth, though, is that I saw my father shoot a basketball only one time.Theres Always This Year is a triumph, brimming with joy, pain, solidarity, comfort, outrage, and hope. No matter the subject of his keen focuswhether its basketball, or music, or performanceHanif 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. | We have this book in our store house - please allow for a couple of extra days for delivery.
