Underrated, but masterful.

This book is not as well known as Gay's work on gratitude and delight, but it derserves to be. The book is an epic poem using as its structure a tribute to the basketball prowess of Julius Erving. This is deserved, but in Ross Gay's hands it becomes a metaphor for so much more.Even if you do not care much about basketball, give it a shot, this poem will win you over anyway.
