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 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. 538 $a Requires the Libby app or a modern web browser. 650 17 $a Nonfiction. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Biography & Autobiography. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Sociology. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Sports & Recreations. $2 OverDrive 655 7 $a Electronic books. $2 local 700 1 $a Abdurraqib, Hanif. 856 40 $u http://link.overdrive.com/?websiteID=251&titleID=9951434 $z Click to download here. 856 4 $3 Image $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/1191-1/%7BC98677B4-5858-4A85-8006-126AA2D59AF9%7DIMG100.JPG $z Large cover image 856 4 $3 Thumbnail $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/1191-1/%7BC98677B4-5858-4A85-8006-126AA2D59AF9%7DIMG200.JPG $z Thumbnail cover image 856 40 $3 Click for more information $u https://api.overdrive.com/v1/collections/v1L1B0wAAAA2Z/products/c98677b4-5858-4a85-8006-126aa2d59af9 $x 1370 941 $a 1 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20240305011452.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=37C5561EDABE11EEBE8532184BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
