Playing Days: From the 2025 Booker shortlisted author of The Rest of Our Lives
Benjamin Markovits
Fresh out of college and uncertain how to proceed with life, the narrator of Ben Markovits' Playing Days finds himself drifting towards a career that once obsessed his father - professional basketball. It's an odd, isolated existence, punctuated by the intense excitement - and often intense disappointment - of the game.
