Now Morris cements his place as a bold new voice in American literature with his muscular debut novel, All Joe Knight. 1961. Outside Philadelphia, a soon-to-be father runs into a telephone pole while driving drunk; nine months later, his widow dies in a smashed up T-Bird. From the start, the orphaned Joe Knight is a blank slate. Taken in by a kindly aunt in a tough-skinned suburb, Joe finds his family in high school with the Fallcrest basketball team--the kind of team that comes around once in a lifetime. White guys, black guys, speed, height, raw athleticism, every element is perfectly in synch. All these kids want, all they dream of, is to make it to the Palestra, UPenn's cathedral of college basketball. Fast-forward thirty years. Joe is newly divorced with one daughter and certain he is unfit for love. Ever since selling the ad firm he built from the ground up for millions, he's been wiling away his time teaching at a local business school and going to strip clubs, the only place where he can quiet his mind. But then he hears from Chris Scully, a former Fallcrest teammate who is now District Attorney. The Justice Department is sniffing around the deal that got Joe rich years ago--a deal he cut every member of the basketball team into, except for Scully. As the details about Joe's possible transgression are unreeled, he is forced to face the emptiness inside himself and a secret that has haunted him for decades"-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 1 $a Adult. $b Brodart. 650 0 $a Divorced men $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Life change events $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Loss (Psychology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Self-evaluation $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Philadelphia (Pa.) $v Fiction. 655 0 $a Psychological fiction. 941 $a 8 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204084457.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110070359.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006102621.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20171128013656.0 952 $l TGPD826 $d 20170602013942.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418121244.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20170209010609.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20170119010342.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2CF468A0B85D11E6BDBAC4DDDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
