Book summary
A philosophical, cultural look at a sport that Oates says causes the spectator "a repugnance beyond language: a sheerly physical loathing. That it is also, or even primarily, self-loathing goes without saying." She adds, "[B]oxing is for men, and is about men, and IS men. A celebration of the lost religion of masculinity all the more trenchant for its being lost."
