Not many people can reach back and bring the past into the present. But for former light heavyweight champions and long-time rivals Packy O’Brien and "Jolting Jimmy" Johnson, both in their 60s, the opportunity comes when controversial promoter Michael Damien asks them to put on a four-round grudge-match exhibition preceding the world heavyweight championship fight in Memphis.

"We are healthy only to the extent that our ideas are humane." So reads the tombstone of downtrodden writer Kilgore Trout, but we have no doubt who’s really talking: his alter ego Kurt Vonnegut. Health versus sickness, humanity versus inhumanity--both sets of ideas bounce through this challenging and funny book.

1956.
