Published on 2009-08-11 by Simon and Schuster
Cal and his trainer, Riley, are on their way to Mexico for a make-or-break rematch with legendary fighter Rivera. Four years ago, Cal became the only mixed martial arts fighter to take Rivera the distance -- but the fight nearly ended him. Only Riley, who has been at his side for the last ten years, knows how much that fight changed things for Cal. And only Riley really knows what's now at stake, for both of them. Katie Kitamura's brilliant and stirring debut novel follows Cal and Riley through the three fraught days leading up to this momentous match, as each privately begins to doubt that Cal can win. As the tension builds toward the final electrifying scene, the looming fight becomes every challenge each of us has ever taken on, no matter how uncertain the outcome. In hypnotic, pared-down prose, The Longshot offers a striking portrait of two men striving to stay true to themselves and each other in the only way they know how.

Colm Tóibíin, typically the award-winning journalist of That Controland Brooklyn, converts this particular attention to your advanced human relationships between dads along with sons—specially typically the concerns concerning the fictional leaders Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, W.B. Yeats, plus his or her fathers. Wilde loathed your boyfriend's pop, even if established that they were really alike.

Though Yeats's father, your panther, was initially funny enough , a beautiful conversationalist who is chatter was initially significantly more dressed when compared to the art your dog produced. These kinds of celebrated blokes and therefore the fathers who seem to assisted pattern these come survive for Tóibín's retelling, as do Dublin's colourful inhabitants.
