The Boxer's Soliloquy
Matt Lucas' first collection, The Boxer's Soliloquy, explores the intricacies of Thailand's most famous martial art. Set against the squalor of Bangkok and in the sweaty confines of Muay Thai gyms, only gradually do the tales reveal their true intentions. These are fifteen stories about the ring, the ropes, the fighters, the smack of bodies against bodies and the relationships in between.

Fun read, author clearly has expertise and experience in Muay Thai and the culture of Thailand. Beautifully written and definitely captured the essence of training and fighting. Only quibble is with the author's love of perspective changing and time-shifting, which results in occasional discordance/incoherence.

A cool guy writes a cool book about fighting... In all of its multifaceted forms both subtle and overt. Read it or get beat up... If not by me than someone. Somewhere.
