Mike: A Mike Tyson Reader
by Daniel O'Connor, Introduction George Plimpton
Book Description: Iron Mike collects the best writing on the tumultuous
fifteen-year career of the most reviled and idolized athlete in the world,
Michael Gerard Tyson. Since becoming, at age nineteen, the youngest heavyweight
champion in history, Tyson's dramatic rise, fall, and continuing struggle
has provoked more passionate writing, both in and out of the sports pages,
than that of any other boxer since Muhammad Ali. Iron Mike is about more
than boxing. Like no other athlete, Mike Tyson is at the nexus of America's
cultural anxieties about race, class, masculinity, violence, and celebrity;
like no other athlete his story of high drama and low comedy inspires writers
to wrestle with these themes, with Tyson often no more than the occasion
for the writer's own preoccupations. And Tyson has provided many such occasions:
his rise to the Undisputed World Heavyweight Championship at age twenty-one;
his rocky marriage to Robin Givens; his controversial conviction for the
rape of Desiree Washington; his return to boxing and reclamation of the
WBC and WBA belts; his biting of Evander Holyfield. Iron Mike is a kaleidoscopic
portrait of a man who, for better and worse, is one of the most recognizable,
popular, and defining icons of our time. The book includes selections from
Joyce Carol Oates, Pete Hamill, Jose Torres, Pete Dexter, Phil Berger,
Christopher Hitchens, Robert Lipsyte, Dave Anderson, Jonathan Yardley,
Richard Rodriguez, Katherine Dunn, Budd Schulberg, William Plummer, David
Remnick, Keith Botsworth, and others.
