Hanif Abdurraqib's new book ponders LeBron James, growing up and going home
Podcast: NPR's Book of the DayPublished On: Mon Apr 08 2024
Description: Hanif Abdurraqib's new book, There's Always This Year, is difficult even for the author to summarize — it's part memoir, part basketball analysis, part poetry and essay collections. In today's episode, the MacArthur Fellow and writer speaks with NPR's Scott Detrow about how growing up in Columbus, Ohio, watching LeBron James' spectacular ascent, and understanding the passage of time all led to a meditation on mortality and success.
