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 José 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.
