Come Out Writing: Boxing Anthology Book

Come Out Writing is a collection of the best of boxing writing in the 20th century, a volume which covers the development of the sport and the greatest fighters.The articles are taken from a wide range of publications and from a number of different writers--all inspired by the spectacle of two men facing each other beneath the bright lights of the ring. Hugh McIlvanney, George Kimball, Ernest Hemingway and Paul Gallico are just a few of the writers who have been moved to pen their thoughts and whose words appear in this book. Their differing views and hard-hitting words are brought together wonderfully in a well-selected anthology which represents an invaluable look at the sport and a great read too.Classic title fights are covered; fighters such as Muhammad Ali, George Foreman and Marvin Hagler scrutinised and opinions expressed in a superbly organised story of life in and out of the arena.Fans of boxing will find Come Out Writing a thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining read and a nostalgic look back at some of the legends--and legendary fights--of the sport. --Andrew ThursdayRead More
