Description
Billy Tully and Ernie Munger meet in the ring, their brief bout setting in motion a chain of events that will shape their lives. In a world where the promise of the good life is often overshadowed by desperation and drink, two men must navigate the complexities of their own allegiances and defeats. Narrated with a dispassionate voice, this novel explores the struggles of those who are drawn to the world of boxing, and the manager who watches as his most promising young fighters succumb to their weaknesses.
