Review
"It is a fantastic book about a life that started in darkness and just continued to go deeper into the darkness until the only light was death. Nick Tosches is an extraordinary writer it is the vastness of Nick Tosches's heart that makes it possible to reveal the darkness of Liston's life without sentimentality. As with any great biography, after reading this one the reader can't help but look at himself and wonder and be grateful." Hubert Selby, Jr., author of Last Exit to Brooklyn
