No sport offers more allure and repulsion than the inviting and
abrasive world of boxing. Starting on the mean streets of 1950s
Chicago, this collection of essays moves into a close reflection of
the boxing world up through the glitz of today's boxing circuit.
For Ted Sares, boxing is more than a sparring match between two
combatants violently punching each another. It is a visceral
experience that reaches in all directions, from his childhood
memories of visiting the Chicago rings with his father to today's
all-out-fight demeanor of Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao.
At the same time tender and brutal, triumphant and tragic, in the
end these pieces are about the last man standing and the hope for
fair judgment between the victor and the defeated.
"Boxing Is My Sanctuary" is a collection of essays that
explores both sides of a sport that is colored with paradox.
Between the violent and affectionate, the barbaric and the
civilized, Sares finds a ringside refuge in the midst of the
sights, sounds, and smells that define boxing.
