Liebling between 1952 and 1963.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Demonstrating A.J. Liebling's abiding passion for the \"sweet science\" of boxing, \u003ci\u003eA Neutral Corner\u003c\/i\u003e brings together previously unpublished material. Antic, clear-eyed, and wildly entertaining, these essays showcase a \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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, \u003ci\u003eA Neutral Corner\u003c\/i\u003e is an American treasure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49511585612049,"sku":"GOR003541581","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50097025548561,"sku":"CIN0865474958G","price":6.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50097108713745,"sku":"CIN0865474958VG","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50812781691153,"sku":"CIN0865474958A","price":4.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51008896008465,"sku":"NIN9780865474956","price":20.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51355248165137,"sku":"GOR014235641","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0865474958.jpg?v=1751297926","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/neutral-corner-book-a-j-liebling-9780865474956","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
