Summer Book Club - There's Always This Year: On Basketball and Ascension by Hanif Abdurraquib

Join us for a special book discussion for adult summer reading. We will meet at 6:30 pm in the basement of the library to discuss There's Always This Year: On Basketball and Ascension (2024) by Hanif Abdurraqib. No registration is required. Copies of the book are available at the library for all interested!

"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 book's description) The book which, synthesizes essay and memoir, was longlisted for the National Book Award for Nonfiction and was listed as a best book of 2024 by The New York Times Book Review, Time, The Washington Post, NPR, The Boston Globe, The New York Public Library, Chicago Public Library, Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews, Book Riot, and Electric Lit.
