There's Always This Year
With a well-earned increase in recognition around women’s basketball and March Madness back in action, conversation about the sport has been hotter than ever. In There’s Always This Year: On Basketball and Ascension, National Book Award-nominated author Hanif Abdurraqib recalls another important era of basketball that took place in the 1990s. As Columbus native, Abdurraqib’s memoir really hits home as he details the experience of growing up around legends such as Lebron James. This novel projects rich emotion and history through the lens of basketball, making it the perfect book to pick up between games this weekend.
