Book Reviews of The Pugilist at Rest: Stories
Book Review: an amazing discovery
Summary: 5 Stars
this collection of short stories blew me away when i first bought it(second hand).i've had four or five copies so far and i'd never be without one.its the sort of book you press on people whose opinion matters to you and i've yet to recieve any bad reports on it.the stories are quite short-it does'nt take long to finish the whole book-but its only by further rereads that it comes into its own.its been on constant reread for me since i bought my first battered copy!
the stories are a wild mixture of poetic bloodyness with boxing,epilepsy,war and love thrown into the mix.its an amazing book and its given me loads of enjoyment over the years.its dramatic,masculine,raw and surprising-you'll love it.
