A Neutral Corner: Boxing Essays
A. J. Liebling
Fifteen previously unpublished boxing pieces written between 1952 and 1963.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 of boxing, A Neutral Corner brings together fifteen previously unpublished pieces written between 1952 and 1963.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 Corner is an American treasure.
