<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Fifteen previously unpublished boxing pieces written between 1952 and 1963.</p><p>Demonstrating A.J. Liebling's abiding passion for the "sweet science" of boxing, <i>A Neutral Corner</i> brings together fifteen previously unpublished pieces written between 1952 and 1963. Antic, clear-eyed, and wildly entertaining, these essays showcase a<i> The New Yorker</i> journalist at the top of his form. Here one relives the high drama of the classic Patterson-Johansson championship bout of 1959, and Liebling's early prescient portrayal of Cassius Clay's style as a boxer and a poet is not to be missed.</p><p>Liebling always finds the human story that makes these essays appealing to aficionados of boxing and prose alike. Alive with a true fan's reverence for the sport, yet balanced by a true skeptic's disdain for sentiment, <i>A Neutral Corner </i>is an American treasure.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Fans who thought there was no more vintage Liebling to savor on a winter's eve can now rejoice. These fifteen previously uncollected prizefighting pieces . . . add to the wordsmith's impressive knockout record." --<i>Time</i></p><p>"Nobody wrote about boxing with more grace and enthusiasm than Joe Liebling." --<i>Red Smith, The New York Times</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>A.J. Liebling </b>joined the staff of <i>The New Yorker</i> in 1935 and wrote for the magazine until his death in 1963. His books include <i>Between Meals, A Neutral Corner</i>, and <i>The Honest Rainmaker.</i> <b>Fred Warner</b> and <b>James Barbour</b> are emeritus professors at the University of New Mexico.
