Summary

"He may be a giant but giants have been licked before. Don't forget Goliath. The bigger they are, the harder they fall." Eddie Lewis never expected to make his living writing lies, but that's what he does to pay his rent: Eddie is a manipulator of headlines, an inventor of hyperbole, on behalf of his boss Nick Latka and the boxing business.

The Harder They Fall by Budd Schulberg

Budd Schulberg's celebrated novel of the prize ring has lost none of its power since its first publication more than fifty years ago. Crowded with unforgettable characters, it is a relentless expose of the fight racket. A modern Samson in the form of a simple Argentine peasant is ballyhooed by an unscrupulous fight promoter and his press agent and then betrayed and destroyed by connivers.
BUDD SCHULBERG, the son of a Hollywood film producer, was born in New York in 1914. He is the author of What Makes Sammy Run, The Harder They Fall and The Disenchanted, and the founder of the Watts Writers Workshop. He died in 2009.
