A brilliant collection of articles by the 20th century's Pierce Egan, the only man who could repeatedly reference Ibn Khaldun and mark out over Floyd Patterson without ever coming across as being in the wrong business. ( ) It was always a treat when A.J. Liebling would turn his eye on the ring and its servants. The most learned of the sports writers AJL here writes about Liston, and Patterson, and this collection includes his only article on that rising star, the young Cassius Clay, especially as regards Clay's debut in New York. a fun read. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Fifteen previously unpublished boxing pieces written between 1952 and 1963. Demonstrating A.J. Liebling's abiding passion for the "sweet science" of boxing,A Neutral Corner brings together fifteen previously unpublished pieces written between 1952 and 1963. Antic, clear-eyed, and wildly entertaining, these essays showcase a The New Yorker journalist at the top of his form. Here one relives the high drama of the classic Patterson-Johansson championship bout of 1959, and Liebling's early prescient portrayal of Cassius Clay's style as a boxer and a poet is not to be missed. Liebling always finds the human story that makes these essays appealing to aficionados of boxing and prose alike. Alive with a true fan's reverence for the sport, yet balanced by a true skeptic's disdain for sentiment,A Neutral Corneris an American treasure. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
