Said leads a comfortable, yet boring, middle-class life. That is,
until one afternoon, he leaves work early and crosses into the
rough side of town, in search of a run-down boxing club. His
obsession with this underground sport grows: he starts skipping
work and showing up with visible injuries. Things begin to unravel
as he quits his job, trains full time, and is entered for the fight
of his life. Will this be the making of him, or is it the end of
the road?Maan Abu Taleb's stylish debut novel is beautifully
observed and carefully paced. Far from being a celebration of
machismo, All the Battles approaches the pervasive presence of
violence in society with nuance and grace.
