| Summary |
In 1974 in Kinshasa, Zaire, two African American boxers were paid five million dollars apiece to fight each other. One was Muhammad Ali, the aging but irrepressible ₁professor of boxing.₂ The other was George Foreman, who was as taciturn as Ali was voluble. Observing them was Norman Mailer, a commentator of unparalleled energy, acumen, and audacity. Whether he is analyzing the fighters₂ moves, interpreting their characters, or weighing their competing claims on the African and American souls, Mailer₂s grasp of the titanic battle₂s feints and stratagems, and his sensitivity to their deeper symbolism, makes this book a masterpiece of the literature of sport. |
