Death of a Boxer
A Daily Mail and Irish Times ‘Sports Book of the Year’
A sequence and series of love stories, Death of a Boxer retells the life and death of fighter Mike Towell, branching out into a travelogue from a world not many are familiar with. A literary masterpiece that is part reportage and part memoir. Brutal, but graceful.
A Duel of Bulls: Hemingway and Welles in Love and War
A Shortlist ‘Book of the Summer’
Lyrical and unafraid to tackle the difficulty of conveying the lives of two legendary self-mythologisers, this fascinating literary biography explores the intersecting paths, passions and love for Spain of Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles. Brought together by the Spanish Civil War and bound by bullfighting and the high life, the pair find their lives and art intertwining for more than two decades, as their fates begin to mirror one another.
