What They're Saying
Critics Review
“This is not simply a novel about basketball in the dark ages. Mr. Rosen has much more on his mind here. This is a book about guilt and redemption, about the loss of innocence, about racism and bigotry, about class indifference.” –Charles Salzberg, The New York Times Book Review
“Rosen gives us a sometimes agonizing, often hilarious journey through American history, and a poignant account of what keeps a man running.” –Andy Solomon, Chicago Tribune
“A vivid portrait …” –Alexander Harrison, Times Literary Supplement
