Publisher's Synopsis
Literary Nonfiction. Sports Memoir. Edited by Michael Shields. THE BOUNCE AND THE ECHO is a memoir enriched by the enthralling history of the sport of basketball, from its inception unto its current state. It is the story of one person's attempt to discover himself anew while on a venture to find peace with a game he so desperately wanted to love. THE BOUNCE AND THE ECHO is a story for every athlete who has ever picked up a ball and wondered why, and a book for anyone who has ever wanted to know what happens to a star athlete once the spotlight fades away.
