This is as fine a book as ever has been written on the subject. This book follows in the tradition of boxing-loving writers like Hemingway and Mailer. In a slim volume expanded from a New York Times Magazine article Oates candidly assays "The Sweet Science" for its spectacle aesthetic elements and its history from ancient Greece and Rome to today's ring dominated by callous promoters casinos and TV.
