me when I heard Gene Luen Yang was writing a book about sports: :/
GLY when he realized he was going to write a book about sports: :/
and so I ended up loving this memoir/history. He wrote from the perspective of someone who was always bored by sports (same) and so was able to really figure out what made them interesting to a reader like me. It's such an interesting narrative between his own personal life, his students' lives, and the history of basketball, especially with an eye toward racism and progress made.
Just so compelling and thrilling. Knocked it out of the park. (Sports reference!)
