Riassunto

Muhammad Ali is the greatest boxer the world has ever known and the most charismatic athlete of all time. Adored by millions, Ali is a role model and symbol of courage to us all. Davis Miller was a small, sickly child mourning the loss of his mother when he first encountered Ali. From this meeting, there developed a strong personal relationship that has lasted more than thirty years. Brilliantly weaving Ali's story with his own coming-of-age memoir, Miller captures the true meaning of hero worship, fathers and sons, and strength through wisdom.

Recensione:

"Ali's life has been documented many times over--but never has anyone captured the essence of his ongoing appeal as well as Miller."
--Wes Lukowski, Booklist

"A fine rare book....This story is a classic, one of the standards against which I'll measure all other sports writing."
--Glenn Stout, editor of The Best American Sports Writing

"No one has ever written so purely about Ali before. Indeed, perhaps no one has ever written so purely about anyone."
--Tim Kawakami, Los Angeles Times

"What brilliant stories these are. Davis Miller writes profoundly and beautifully."          
--Joyce Carol Oates

"Miller's astounding book, more in the tradition of contemporary writers such as Tobias Wolff and Richard Ford than that of mere boxing biographies, is a seminal interpretation of fame, how it affects both those who have it and those who live in its shadow."
--Esquire
