Review
Very informative. I like the research that was put into this. Oates clearly is fascinated by boxing and the men and reception behind the deadly sport. She makes a case about boxing being alike to the writing process – the creativity and its hard abandon. And therefore explaining writers fascination with the sport for decades.
Quotes
“Those we love never truly leave us, Harry. There are things that death cannot touch.”
“In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.”
