Beschreibung
In Katie Kitamura's brilliant debut novel The Longshot, a former mixed martial arts star and his longtime coach prepare for his momentous comeback match over the course of three fraught days. As an excruciating tension builds toward the final electrifying scene, Kitamura's taut, rhythmic language renders the urgency, discipline, and mutual affection of athlete and coach with such depth and subtlety that their plight becomes our plight, the looming fight becomes every challenge each of us has ever taken on, however uncertain the outcome.
