Jeffrey Sussman to Speak at East Hampton Library

Jeffrey Sussman, author of the best-selling book, Boxing and the Mob: The Notorious History of the Sweet Science, will speak about the book at the East Hampton Library on Saturday, June 8, at 1 PM. Publishers Weekly wrote: "The prose harkens to old-school sportswriters like Red Smith and Jim Murray, with crisp descriptions of colorful characters and acts of criminality (Carbo “had the hard, cold eyes of a killer... the man who would invade, conquer, and corrupt the world of boxing”). Sussman’s bold, probing excursion into boxing has the knockout power of a good punch."
