Heroes

Originally published 33 years ago, David Shields' novel Heroes offers a conventional narrative that stands in contrast to his later works. Addressing the timely issue of college sports corruption, the book has become increasingly relevant as debates around this topic intensify. Marrow Books has reissued Heroes, recognizing its foresight and significance, further inspiring a recent collaboration between Shields and Rick Telander on a screenplay about a fictional work strike during a championship basketball game, co-produced by Carmelo Anthony.
