Fat City - Leonard Gardner

 

One of the best books I've ever read. A great boxing novel and a great movie by John Huston. Stacy Keach, Susan Tyrrell, Jeff Bridges. Having a hard time finding a price on this particular paperback edition. The earlier Dell is around $25-35. First edition about $500. His only book. It was republished a few years ago so it is available. Both book and movie highly recommended. Susan Tyrrell's performance is one of the greatest ever.
