  • "Published in 1905, this is a riveting tale of a boxing match between twenty-year-old Jack Fleming and his thuggish rival John Ponta, as seen through the eyes of Jack's fiancée, Genevieve. Notable for its stark realism, this short novel single-handedly, as it were, elevated the subject of boxing to literary respectability."
  • "On the eve of their wedding, twenty-year-old Jack Fleming arranges a secret ringside seat for his sweetheart to view her only rival: the "game." Through Genevieve's apprehensive eyes, we watch the prizefight that pits her fair young lover, "the Pride of West Oakland," against the savage and brutish John Ponta and that reveals as much about her own nature, and Joe's, as it does about the force that drives the two men in their violent, fateful encounter."@en
