Description

The Necessary Hunger by Nina Revoyr is a powerful and poignant novel that explores the complexities of life in an urban neighborhood. Set against the backdrop of a high school year, the story follows two basketball stars as they navigate the challenges of growing up and leaving behind the only home they have ever known. Through their struggles and triumphs, Revoyr sheds light on issues of racial identity, family, friendship, and the search for meaning in a world that often seems determined to hold people back. With unflinching honesty and a deep understanding of her characters, she reveals the ways in which sports can be both a source of salvation and a means of survival. This reissued edition includes new introductions by Lynell George and Nina Revoyr, offering readers a fresh perspective on this important work.
