Book summaryIn SHADOW BOXERS, the undeniable fascination and appeal of boxing gyms is conveyed not only in beautifully intimate photographs by Jim Lommasson, but in incisive essays by boxing writers like Carlo Rotella, Kate Sekules, Katherine Dunn, Lucius Shepard, and F. X. Toole (who wrote the story on which the film MILLION DOLLAR BABY was based). There is also a foreword by heavyweight champ Joe Frazier. The book vividly documents the sweat, the pain, the moments of glory, the traditions, and--most of all--the hope epitomized by these establishments. |
