About this product

Product Information

In his last year of eligibility, Robert Anasi, age thirty-two, decided to fight in the Golden Gloves tournament, the premier event in amateur boxing. "The gym becomes a way of life," he explains, and so it does for the reader, as Anasi ushers us into the world of training and competition, of friendly rivalry, of artistry and violence. He tells his story not as a journalist on assignment but as a man in the midst of one of the great adventures of his life, and in his hands "a dying blood sport is reincarnated as a metaphor for redemption under flawed circumstances" (Nita Rao, The Village Voice ).

"A dying blook sport is reincarnated as a metaphor for redemption under flawed circumstances."--Nita Rao, The Village Voice "Robert Anasi . . . can turn a phrase as clean as a neatly wrapped fist."--Stephanie Zacharek, Newsday "As gripping as any Arctic chronicle . . . As the author's boxing skills increase he turns his attention to his sparring partners and fellow gym rats . . . and makes a rough lyric out of their hard lives."--The New Yorker "[A book] as good as any I've read about the sport."--George Plimpton, "A dying blook sport is reincarnated as a metaphor for redemption under flawed circumstances."--Nita Rao, The Village Voice "Robert Anasi . . . can turn a phrase as clean as a neatly wrapped fist."--Stephanie Zacharek, Newsday " As gripping as any Arctic chronicle . . .

Fast delivery and good communication. Item description did not mention some noticeable blemishes (a couple corner-folded pages, permanent marker writing on inside cover), but this was a hard-to-find book more affordably priced than elsewhere. Thank you!
