The Fight by Norman Mailer

4.0

Mailer's descriptions of the boxers (Ali and Foreman) and the fight are amazing. The first time he inserts himself into the story -- to describe why it is that "Blacks" like him so much -- made me cringe. But later in the book his depiction of himself illustrates well the pathetic, lovable, suspicious ways of sports fans.
