Frank Shapiro - The Basketball Novels
Written over the course of 30 years, The Basketball Novels includes three separate first-person accounts in which the sport of basketball plays a significant role. Even The Losers tracks the journey of a high school senior as he navigates life in a group home, academics in a special day class of misfits, and his relationship with an elderly teacher who sees his potential; Animal Behavior follows a psychologically-damaged struggling artist coming to terms with his mistakes and himself, and his twisted (and yet beautiful) relationship with a female counselor; and The Winners is an autobiographical story of a therapist working to understand his own life as he helps others do the same and strives to emerge victorious in a basketball tournament against unbeatable foes.
