Title: one of the best books ever, regardless of genre
Product review: "Ghosts of Manila," is an absolute masterpiece. Not only does Kram deconstruct the Ali myth, he humanizes him. He also treats Joe Frazier in a way no one else has. Warts and all, Frazier emerges as a man of great dignity if not always dignified. This book has influenced my own writing. It is full of poetic and writerly sentences; it is not only an almanac of boxing but also a one-of-a kind view into the Black Muslims, Ali's hidden self and secret child, and the foolish self-serving antics of American journalsist and would-be pundits who swallowed the Ali jive whole. Kram is a truth-teller and like an oracle unfolds the ravages of time that turn idols into dust.
