From Jack London to Joyce Carol Oates, The Hurt Business is the
ultimate boxing book covering a century of the greatest fighter and
the writers who have followed 'the sweet science'. Beginning with
Jack London's account of the 1910 championship bout between Jack
Johnson and James Jeffries (for which the Call of the Wildman
called for and coined the term "The Great White Hope"), and ending
with Carlo Rotella's 2002 homage to Larry Holmes ("Champion at
Twilight"), The Hurt Business is a near century's worth of
rip-roaring reveal. Some of it comes ringside, like Norman Mailer
et; some of it comes from the gym, like Pete Hamill's "Up the
Stairs with Cus D'Amato"; and some of it comes from so far behind
the scenes you feel as if you've been eavesdropping - Thomas
Hauser's excerpt from The Black Lights. For fans of Norman Mailer's
The Fight or George Kimball's Four Kings: Leonard, Hagler, Hearns,
Duran and the Last Great Era of Boxing, The Hurt Business belongs
on the shelves of any fan of boxing or sublime sports writing.
