There's Always This Year: On Basketball and Ascension by Hanif Abdurraqib

emotional hopeful reflective medium-paced

5.0

another one i had to take my time with. hanif does it again!!!! of course
i so connect with the idea of loving the place you’re from, the place you know best, for better or for worse. nostalgia is a hustler!!!!
“i have lied to myself to keep loving a city, to keep myself fixed in the place i am because i am afraid i know the truth about america: that nowhere is forgiving and so the unforgiving familiar is better than anywhere else.”
the way i want to go watch a basketball game right now is powerful
