Was the \u0026amp;quote;\u0026amp;quote;Big Ugly Bear,\u0026amp;quote;\u0026amp;quote; as a youthful Muhammad Ali called him, as mean and antisocial as he seemed? Or was he a man -- hampered by illiteracy -- misunderstood?\u0026amp;quote;\u0026amp;quote;Blues Song for a Fighter\u0026amp;quote;\u0026amp;quote; reveals the real Sonny Liston: witty, hopeful, vengeful, loving children and his wife, determined, humorous, yet -- when drunk -- lascivious, crude, and violent. J.J. Parker, author of the acclaimed \u0026amp;quote;\u0026amp;quote;Tink Wilson,\u0026amp;quote;\u0026amp;quote; has penned a stage play version of Liston's tempestuous, ill-fated existence ... a vital sunbeam whose starting and ending points no one ever knew. Though a former thug paroled from prison ( he did time for armed robbery), Sonny never was paroled from his fate: to uneasily ride a personal Night Train to (and from) nowhere, to be divorced from, yet part of, the human race. This book offers a three-act play depicting the drama of Sonny Liston's life, the \u0026amp;quote;\u0026amp;quote;blues song for a fighter\u0026amp;quote;\u0026amp;quote; that he correctly predicted some day would be written, read, and understood. Settle into your ringside seat ... the bell for Round One is about to clang....\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52937948299543,"sku":null,"price":1213.44,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/9781462842223.jpg?v=1780987827","url":"https:\/\/payment.letskitaboo.com\/ur\/products\/blues-song-for-a-fighter-9781462842223","provider":"Kitaboo One eStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
