"There's Always This Year" by Hanif Abdurraqib

"There's Always This Year" by Hanif Abdurraqib

book review by Riley Burnham 4/24/2024

well... i liked the first half, & a few later parts of this book

there's an overarching victim narrative which really picks up for the last few hours [a slog]

the basketball portions are good, tho, & some of the poetic descriptions of what ball means to folks in cities [Cleveland in this case]

​​​​​​​my favorite portion was his breakdown of "He Got Game"
