Description

The Fighter by Michael Farris Smith is a lyrical novel about violence and deliverance set in the Mississippi Delta. A boxer struggles to repay his debts after losing everything, including the woman who gave him a home and the family legacy she entrusted to him. As Jack's mind begins to fail due to years of bare-knuckle fighting, he becomes hijacked by a sleazy gambler out to settle a score. This sudden reversal introduces an unlikely savior in the form of a sultry carnival worker named Annette, who guides Jack toward redemption. However, the world she inhabits is filled with savage danger. With its raw power and poetry, this novel explores themes of regret, betrayal, and the search for a way out.
