Hardcover. Condizione: Good. First Edition. Product Description A much anticipated sequel toDivorcing Jackfinds Dan Starkey in New York to write a book about an upcoming boxing bout and dealing not only with racial and political mayhem, but the possible disintegration of his marriage. From Library Journal Get past the odd title and you'll find some of the wittiest mayhem in print?because Dan Starkey is back. Belfast journalist Starkey, introduced in Bateman's Divorcing Jack (LJ 11/1/95), writes a satirical column, drinks too much, and bemoans his failing marriage to Patricia, who's newly pregnant by another man. So Starkey takes off to write a book about the heavyweight title fight scheduled for St. Patrick's Day in New York between Mike Tyson and the Irish hope, Bobby (Fat Boy) McMaster. Never has a contender had more distractions: McMaster's inadvertent remark about blacks ignites the wrath of the militant Sons of Muhammad; his beloved wife, Mary, is kidnapped; Irish terrorists issue demands; and gays picket his training camp in Provincetown. With his sure touch and crisp prose, Bateman explains Irish political passions as deftly as he handles his wise-cracking protagonist, all the while overlaying violence with humor and charm. Essential for fans of Dan Starkey?may their numbers increase.?Michele Leber, Fairfax Cty. P.L., Va.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Booklist The black humor ofDivorcing Jack (1995), Bateman's previous Dan Starkey novel, also drives this over-the-top mix of crime novel, sports story, and political satire. In an updated version ofThe Harder They Fall, Bateman tells the story of Fat Boy McMaster, the pudgy Irish heavyweight champ whose manager swings the deal of the century: a title bout in Madison Square Garden against Mike Tyson. Boozing journalist Starkey, his marriage going south, agrees to write a book about the event but soon finds himself caught in a racial and political fiasco that encompasses the IRA, the Sons of Muhammad, Provincetown's gay community, and even a few save-the-whale environmentalists. It's all uproariously funny, as sacred cows are pummeled like so many sparring partners, but the comedy has a bitter aftertaste that gives this battering ram of a book its bite. When Starkey opts to have another drink and save his marriage, we nod approvingly. Good plan for a bad world.Bill Ott From Kirkus Reviews Knockabout journalist Dan Starkey leaves the mean streets of Belfast for a season of even more violent insanity in the world of professional boxing. Meet Bobby ``Fat Boy'' McMaster, the heavyweight champ of Ireland. Haven't heard of him? That's just the reason Bobby's mentor, Geordie McClean, needs to hire Starkey to do public relations for Bobby's upcoming world championship bout with Mike Tyson (!) and write a book about it all after the champ's given Bobby, a wee sweetie who reads novels and has a sly sense of humor, a decent burial in New York. It looks like a great chance for Starkey to make some money and get out of the war zone he covered so hilariously in Divorcing Jack (1995) while enjoying a much-needed second honeymoon with his estranged wife Patricia. But Patricia, pregnant by her married lover, isn't about to book passage for the New World, so Starkey packs a few clean shirts and takes off with Bobby's entourage for the Big Apple, where Bobby will run rings around Tyson in a joint press conference and immediately incur the wrath of the Sons of Muhammed, a splinter group as violent as the Provos but a lot more inept. Then Bobby's wife Mary is kidnapped, presumably by the Sons of Muhammed, and Starkey is dragged into the fray by two heavyweight ex-NYPD detectives who dwarf even the Fat Boy. But how can Starkey really be sure that it's the Sons who are behind the snatch, when Bobby, training in Provincetown, has also managed to antagonize the gay community, the IRA, and the ferocious sparring partner who keeps.
