Krátky popis
On a defining evening of the 1980s, Donald Trump hosted celebrities
and high rollers in a Jersey Shore town to witness 21-year-old Mike
Tyson knock out Michael Spinks in just 91 seconds, earning more
than the annual payrolls of the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston
Celtics combined. Only eight years earlier, Tyson, a troubled child
from Brooklyn, was taken under the wing of boxing legend Cus
D’Amato in upstate New York. Their story of mutual redemption
captivated novelists, screenwriters, and the emerging cable TV
industry.Tyson became HBO’s leading man long before Tony Soprano.
Despite the immense success, Tyson's story was more complex and
darker than it appeared. Over the decades, he has been villainized,
lionized, and fetishized—but never fully humanized until
now.Acclaimed biographer Mark Kriegel, who first encountered Tyson
as a young reporter, explores Tyson's life through what he survived
rather than whom he knocked out. Tyson, often compared to Jack
Dempsey, was more akin to Sonny Liston—Black, feared, and expected
to die young. What made Liston a pariah made Tyson a touchstone for
a generation influenced by hip hop and gunfire.Kriegel captures not
just Tyson’s rise but his profound impact on the American psyche.
