Synopses & Reviews
Del boxeo is a dramatic, unembellished and evocatively profound essay. A series of reflections on being poor and obstinate, on the need to create heroes and learning to succeed take us to the very roots of the sport, contributing unique points of view on a subject covered by writers such as Ernest Hemingway or Mark Twain: Boxing as a metaphor, as a spectacle, as history; boxing as seen through literature, film and women.
