SUMMARY:Nonfiction Book Club
DESCRIPTION:\n\nInterested in nonfiction?\nJoin our book club featuring 
 only nonfiction titles.\n\nMay’s selection is There’s Always This Year: 
 On Basketball and Ascension by Hanif Abdurraqib.\n\nAbout There’s Always 
 This Year:\n\nGrowing up in Columbus\, Ohio\, in the 1990s\, Hanif 
 Abdurraqib witnessed a golden era of basketball\, one in which legends like 
 LeBron James were forged and countless others weren’t. 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.”\n\nThere’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.\n\nThis group meets 
 on the 4th Wednesday of the month at the Quadrangle (3300 Darby Rd\, 
 Haverford) Stop by the Reference Desk to register and pick up a copy of the 
 book.\n\n\n\n\n \n
