Finally gave up on this weird tale.
Tough. Terse. Decidedly macho. Also very engaging and well-written. I was surprised at how much I liked the content, despite my preconceived notions about how I dislike this style of writing. So I was wrong.
A disturbing novel. All the more so, because I can't for the life of me remember what the point was. Trout is an evil, evil man enjoying the privilege of being white in the Jim Crow South.
I would not normally be a fan of a book about boxers, but Dexter writes amazingly well, and drew me in despite my lack of interest in the subject. That said, I haven't felt the slightest desire to revisit it.
