About the book
John Edgar Wideman weaves together basketball and personal memory, exploring how the sport functioned as metaphor and reality in his life and in the African-American community. A poetic reflection on race, identity, family and redemption, where the game becomes a language for articulating profound experiences of marginalization and resistance.
