The second volume of David Levering Lewis's biography of W.E.B. Du Bois, covering his post-World War I years through 1963.

A story collection from a narrator who knows the boxing world from the inside, tracing the tension, pride, and fragile dignity of people both in and around the ring. Across six pieces, it reveals the weight of a struggle that cannot be measured by wins and losses alone.

A sharp, humane collection that captures both the heat of the ring and the pain surrounding it.
