Snyder's discerning eye and well-tuned ear help turn his exploration of boxing in coal country into a resonant account of work, church, masculinity, family, and more. Its on the lowest levels of the fight world - DIY gyms, Toughman competitions, amateur cards at local venues - that the social and cultural embedding of boxing in everyday life comes most vividly alive, and Snyder introduces us to some unforgettable scenes and characters."" - Carlo Rotella, author of Cut Time: An Education at the Fights
""This memoir will appeal to many readers: those in gender studies who study manifestations of masculinity, scholars who examine the collapse of the coalfields and the rampant unemployment found in Central Appalachia, and West Virginians who possess a fierce pride in the Mountain State and celebrate small-town triumphs."" - Jeff Mann, author of Loving Mountains, Loving Men
