A prominent figure in the entertainment world who has turned to fiction in the last decade, Kevin Morris received wide literary acclaim with his story collection White Mans Problems, praised by David Carr as remarkable and Tom Perrotta as revelatory. Now Morris cements his place as a bold new voice in American literature with his muscular debut novel, All Joe Knight.1961. Outside Philadelphia, a soontobe father runs into a telephone pole while driving drunk; nine months later, his widow dies in a smashed up TBird. From the start, the orphaned Joe Knight is a blank slate. Taken in by a kindly aunt in a toughskinned suburb, Joe finds his family in high school with the Fallcrest basketball teamthe kind of team that comes around once in a lifetime. White guys, black guys, speed, height, raw athleticism, every element is perfectly in synch. All these kids want, all they dream of, is to make it to the Palestra, UPenns cathedral of college basketball.Fastforward thirty years. Joe is newly divorced with one kid and certain he is unfit for love. Ever since selling the ad firm he built from the ground up for millions, hes had time on his hands, and now he wiles it away in strip clubs, the only place where he can quiet his mind. But then he hears from Chris Scully, a former Fallcrest teammate who is now District Attorney. It seems the Justice Department is sniffing around the deal that got Joe rich years agoa deal he cut every member of the basketball team into, except for Scully. As the details about Joes possible transgression are unreeled, he is forced to face the emptiness inside himself and a secret that has haunted him for decades.
