A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

"[Miller's] new book gives you an intimate glimpse of Tragic Ali: a man of once-uncontainable animation now locked behind facial features that do not move 'one-tenth of an inch'". Financial Times

In 1988, then-struggling writer and movie store manager Davis Miller drove to Muhammad Ali's mother's modest Louisville house, knocked on the door, and introduced himself to his childhood idol. Nearly thirty years later, the two friends share an uncommon bond, the sort that can be fashioned only in serendipitous ways and fortified through shared experiences. Miller now draws from those remarkable moments to present a quietly startling portrait of a great man physically devastated but spiritually young. Following in the grand contemporary tradition of writers such as Gay Talese and Nick Hornby, Miller gives us a series of extraordinary stories that coalesce to become the single most intimate look at Ali's retirement years.
