by Binnie Klein, M.S.W., lecturer in psychiatry (State University of New York Press) The author offers a series of memories and insights from an unlikely contender. Klein’s unexpected midlife fascination with boxing takes her beyond the ring, leading her back to her roots and to a surprising chapter of the Jewish immigrant experience.
