Writers have long been attracted to boxing. Hemingway, Mailer,
Algren, Plimpton, Oates, and many others have stepped into the
ring--at least in spirit--to give voice to an otherwise wordless
sport, to celebrate that "sweet science," and to bear witness to
its romance and tragedy. In this acclaimed book, hailed by Norman
Mailer as an "impressive event," we are brought for the first time
into the ring for a close-up look at the "manly art" through the
eyes of Jose Torres, a man who was a great boxer himself. When
former light-heavyweight world champion Torres traded in his gloves
for a typewriter, boxing finally found its eyewitness.
In the classic "Sting Like a Bee," Torres turns his well-trained
eye on one of the most celebrated and controversial athletes of all
time: Muhammad Ali. In this penetrating view of Ali and the world
of prizefighting, told by a true insider and "boxing's Renaissance
man," Torres delivers exciting and explicit accounts of all of
Ali's major fights with the cool authenticity of one who has lived
it.
