Never ever RAN, Never ever WILL Boyhood and Football in the Altering American Internal City By Albert Samaha Illustrated. 343 pp. PublicAffairs. $28 While in the summers of 1973 and 1974, a former college football star turned aspiring writer named Rick Telander inhabited the basketball courts of Foster Park inside the Brooklyn neighborhood of Flatbush. Often taking part in, at times coaching, usually acutely observing, Telander generated a book, “Heaven Is actually a Playground” (1976), that chronicled the stunning expertise and fragile desires of asphalt wizards like Fly Williams and Albert King. At the intersection of youthful talent plus the high-stakes globe of N.C.A.A. basketball, Telander portrayed by far the most morally complex character of all, Rodney Parker, an unofficial agent who might or might not have already been having payoffs to provide stellar gamers to sure schools. |
