In the spring of 1970, a Pretoria schoolboy falls in love with Muhammad Ali. He begins to collect cuttings about his hero from the newspapers, an obsession that grows into a ragged archive of scrapbooks.Forty years later, when Joe has become a writer, these scrapbooks bothinsist on and obscure a book about his boyhood. He turns to his brother Branko, a sound editor, for help with recovering their shared past. Butcan a story ever belong equally to two people? Is this a brotherly collaborationor a battle for supremacy?This is an intricate puzzle of a book by a writer of lyrical power andformal inventiveness. Against a spectacular backdrop, the heyday of thegreatest showman of them all, Vladislavic unfolds a small, fragmentarystory of family life and the limits of language. Meaning comes into viewin the spaces between then and now, growing up and growing old, speaking out and keeping silent.
