The House of Moses All-Stars


Charley Rosen is about the most prolific writer of books about basketball around.
The House of Moses All-Stars is about a touring team during the depression. It's got an authentic feel about old time basketball, barnstorming professionalism, and the Depression. Basketball is partly a Mcguffin, but partly a religion.
This is a piece of American literature that has more to say as I think back on it than it did as I read it. **** (Is that four stars, or three with an asterisk?)
