商品簡介

"The Necessary Hunger is the kind of irresistible read you start on the subway at 6 p.m. on the way home from work and keep plowing through until you’ve turned the last page...It beats with the pulse of life...American writers dealing with race relations tend to focus on blackwhite or Asian white situations; Revoyr has the imagination to depict racial issues in which whites are not the reference point."
--Time Magazine

"Quietly intimate, vigorously honest, and uniquely American...Tough and tender without a single false note."
--Kirkus Reviews

"Revoyr triumphs in blending many complex issues, including urban poverty and violence, adolescent sexuality, and the vitality of basketball, without losing sight of her characters. She creates a family, in all senses of the word, of characters who are complex, admirable, and aggravating; readers will root for them on and off the court."
--Detroit Free Press

"Revoyr focuses on a number of issues, including competition, interracial relationships, and same-sex relationships...A thoughtful work..."
--Library Journal

"The Necessary Hunger is a moving, insightful story about family, friendship, and young people coming of age with the cards stacked against them."
--Asian Pages

"A wholesome coming-of-age novel about two high school basketball stars, Revoyr's debut is a meditation on consuming passion and a reflection on lost opportunities...The basketball action, which builds climactically, honors the split-second timing and excitement of the game. Revoyr also evokes the feel of contemporary L.A., capturing crackheads, gang-bangers, and car-jackings in sharp, street-smart dialogue."
--Publishers Weekly

"Revoyr has unerringly caught the angst of teenagers, as well as the rarified, self-involved world in which they live...A sympathetic, tender rendering of the frustration of unrequited love."
--Cleveland Plain Dealer

"This book may in fact contain the most loving prose we'll see on basketball until John Edgar Wideman writes about his daughter Jamila, the gifted point guard for Stanford."
--Chicago Tribune

The Necessary Hunger follows two basketball stars--Japanese American Nancy Takahiro and African American Raina Webber--and several of their friends through their last year of high school. For some of them, their senior year will be full of glory, and the anticipation of college. For others, however, stranded in an inner-city Los Angeles neighborhood that promises little in the way of opportunity, it will mark not only the end of their time in school but also the end of their hope.

As Nancy and Raina both prepare to leave the urban neighborhood that has nurtured them, they find themselves looking toward a future that is no longer easily defined. The Necessary Hunger is about families, friendship, racial identity, and young people who are nearing adulthood in a dangerous and challenging world. It is about sports as a means of salvation, about the nature of competition, and ultimately about the various kinds of love.
