Description:
<DIV><b>Schulberg goes toe to toe with his lifelong passion in this collection of his greatest writings on boxing</b></div><DIV><BR>“As much as I love boxing, I hate it.” So begins screenwriter, novelist, and journalist Budd Schulberg’s collection of essays on the sweet science of bruising, a sport that fueled his literary ambitions and unsettled his conscience from a young age. He gives riveting accounts of classic bouts, such as Rocky Marciano–Archie Moore, Muhammad Ali–George Foreman, and Marvin Hagler–Thomas Hearns. Yet these essays also offer insight into the sport’s sociological significance from a man who covered its highlights and corruption-marred lowlights for decades. <i>Sparring with Hemingway</i> stands as the unparalleled history of boxing’s place in American culture throughout the twentieth century.</div><DIV> </div><DIV>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Budd Schulberg including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate.</div>
