    Summary:
    One of Sports Illustrated’s “Top 100 Sports Books of All Time” The 2023 “BEST BASKETBALL GIFT” from The Strategist A classic of narrative journalism about four inner-city high school basketball prospects trying to make it to the pros, with a new introduction by the author, now in audio for the first time. The Last Shot: City Streets, Basketball Dreams is the “revelatory” (New York Times), “deeply empathetic” (New Yorker) true story of four teenagers attempting to escape the cycles of poverty, crime, and despair in 1990s Brooklyn by getting recruited to play college basketball. With poignant intimacy, Darcy Frey chronicles the aspirations of these young men, including the future superstar Stephon Marbury, who are among the most promising players in Coney Island. What they have going for them is athletic talent, grace, and years of dedication. But working against them are woefully inadequate schooling, family circumstances that are often desperate, and the slick, brutal world of college athletic recruitment. Incisively and compassionately written, this is Frey’s award-winning masterpiece of narrative nonfiction, a startling exposé of inner-city life and the big business of college sports. Narrated by JD Jackson (The Nickel Boys). “[A] revelatory description of how the basketball myth plays out in the public housing projects of New York’s Coney Island, an isolated and impoverished spit of land at the seaward end of Brooklyn…. Vividly describes how the zealous pursuit of hoop glory serves as an inner-city version of the American Dream… [C]ompellingly written, with elegance, economy and just the right amount of outrage.” —Brent Staples, New York Times “Elegiac.” — Sports Illustrated

    Summary:
    Contagiously curious essays on reading, art, and the life of the mind, from the acclaimed author of The Unreality of Memory. Who are we when we read? When we journal? Are we more ourselves alone or with friends? Right now or in memory? How does time transform us and the art we love? In sixteen dazzling, expansive essays, the acclaimed essayist and poet Elisa Gabbert explores a life lived alongside books of all kinds: dog-eared and destroyed, cherished and discarded, classic and clichėd, familiar and profoundly new. She turns her witty, searching mind to the writers she admires, from Plath to Proust, and the themes that bind them―chance, freedom, envy, ambition, nostalgia, and happiness. She takes us to the strange edges of art and culture, from hair metal to surf movies to party fiction. Any Person Is the Only Self is a love letter to literature and to life, inviting us to think alongside one of our most thrilling and versatile critics.

    Title: Time of My Life: Dirty Dancing
    Author: Andrea Warner
    Narrator: Stephanie Németh Parker
    Format: Unabridged

    Language: English

    Genres: Non-Fiction, Social Science

    Summary:
    An engaging exploration into the enduring popularity of Dirty Dancing and its lasting themes of feminism, activism, and reproductive rights When Dirty Dancing was released in 1987, it had already been rejected by producers and distributors several times over, and expectations for the summer romance were low. But then the film, written by former dancer Eleanor Bergstein and starring Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze as a couple from two different worlds, exploded. Since then, Dirty Dancing’s popularity has never waned. The truth has always been that Dirty Dancing was never just a teen romance or a dance movie — it also explored abortion rights, class, and political activism, with a smattering of light crime-solving. In The Time of My Life, celebrated music journalist Andrea Warner excavates the layers of Dirty Dancing, from its anachronistic, chart-topping soundtrack, to Baby and Johnny’s chemistry, to Bergstein’s political intentions, to the abortion subplot that is more relevant today than ever. The film’s remarkable longevity would never have been possible if it was just a throwaway summer fling story. It is precisely because of its themes — deeply feminist, sensitively written — that we, over 30 years later, are still holding our breath during that last, exhilarating lift.
