Sobre IBD

From the author of Paper Lion Stepping into the ring against light-heavyweight champion Archie Moore George Plimpton pauses to wonder what ever induced him to become a participatory journalist. Bloodied but unbowed he holds his own in the bout - and brings back this timeless book on boxing and its devotees among them Muhammad Ali Joe Frazier Ernest Hemingway and Norman Mailer. Shadow Box is one of Plimpton’s most engaging portraits of professional sport seen through the eyes of an inquisitive and astute hopeful. From the gym the locker room the ringside and even in the harsh glare of the ring itself Plimpton documents what it truly means to be a boxer in some of the finest writing of his career.
