To outrun their troubles, they head to Europe, and at first things seem to be okay, but as Germany bleeds into France, and France into Belgium, the truth about the past begins to emerge in dangerous ways.

The Bounce & the Echo: Dying to Love A GameIn May of 2011, in a small arena in Hungary, Ian Johnson played the last game of his professional basketball career. He'd long blamed the sport for his OCD, his insecurities, and much else that was bad in his life. But he quickly understood that retiring from basketball wasn't the same as starting anew. The only way to evolve, the only way to shed the "basketball player" label, was to go back and confront the influences that made him who he was, both on and off the court.
Welcomely devoid of self-glorification, Johnson, with deep insight and elegance, explores what it means to win, lose, and identify as an athlete in the twenty-first century. Brutally honest, and weaving the broader history of basketball into memories of his own career, The Bounce and the Echo is "a game-changer for sports memoirs" (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette). |
