Description
A young man from Texas drifts towards a career in professional basketball after graduating from college, following in the footsteps of his father. He secures a place on a minor league German team and relocates to the small town of Landshut. As he navigates this new life, the narrator must confront the challenges of adapting to a foreign culture and finding his own identity. His journey is marked by moments of uncertainty and self-discovery. This novel explores themes of identity, belonging, and the complexities of family relationships through the lens of sports and cultural displacement.
