Jump start your #summer reading program with a classic NBA honored novel from our #summer #reading list: The Great Escape. 12 books set in far-flung locales starting with HAWAII– the locale of the 1952 #NBAward Winner From Here to Eternity. “This book is full of violence, drunkenness, suicide, gambling, whoring, existential crises, self-loathing, ugliness, and degradation in Hawai’i in the months leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor,” says NBF executive director Harold Augenbraum.
