![]() I started talking with Talia’s husband, Ron Carner, and we quickly realized that we’d gone to rival Brooklyn public high schools-he to James Madison and I to Erasmus-and as soon as we discovered our mutual love of basketball, we did what aging Brooklyn hoop junkies usually do when they get together: we exchanged tales of local ballplayers we’d seen and played against-All-City and All-American players who had gone on to celebrated college and pro careers. On a cool, early summer evening in June 2015, I was at the Friars Club in midtown Manhattan to celebrate my friend Talia Carner’s new novel, Hotel Moscow. He would mysteriously drop out of UNC without appearing in a single game. ![]() Frankie King, playing for Brooklyn’s Madison High School in 1953. ![]()
