Reviews
"If there is still a queue of writers mining the Depression Era for racehorses or prizefighters with inspirational stories that will resonate with today's readers, Century (Street Kingdom, 1999) has beaten them to the punch with one Dov Ber "Beryl" Rasofsky (1909-57)... The author effectively weaves the Depression's neighborhood milieu into Ross's saga: Irish and Italian immigrants, for instance, boisterously revere their brethren who find glory in the prize ring, but Jews, under the watch of an orthodoxy steeped in nonviolence, remain discreetly conflicted. " - Kirkus Reviews, starred review, "Barney Ross's life is a curious mix: a boxer with a religious streak who was haunted by the death of his own dad. Douglas Century has managed to deal with all of Ross's contradictions and mysteries, when Jewish fighters were like gods of the ghetto. This is a deeply moving book." -Jerome Charyn, author ofSavage Shorthand: The Life and Death of Isaac Babel "Fascinating . . . A powerful account of the career of 'one of the two greatest Jewish boxers of the twentieth century.'" -Publishers Weekly(starred review) "If there is still a queue of writers mining the Depression Era for racehorses or prizefighters with inspirational stories that will resonate with today's readers, Douglas Century has beaten them to the punch . . . Ross's consummate boxing skills and toughness made him one of the last heirs to a largely untold tradition of formidable Jewish pugilists." -Kirkus Reviews, "Barney Ross's life is a curious mix: a boxer with a religious streak who was haunted by the death of his own dad.
