In 1988, then struggling writer Davis Miller drove to Muhammad
Ali's mother's modest Louisville house, knocked on the door and
introduced himself to his childhood idol. Nearly thirty years
later, the two friends have an uncommon bond, the sort that can be
fashioned only in serendipitous ways and fortified through shared
experiences. Miller now draws from those remarkable moments to give
us a beautifully written portrait of a great man physically
devastated but spiritually young-playing tricks on unsuspecting
guests, performing sleight of hand for any willing audience and
walking ten miles each way to get an ice cream. Following in the
tradition of writers such as Gay Talese and Nick Hornby, Miller
gives us a series of extraordinary stories that coalesce to become
a moving introduction to the human side of a boxing legend.
