La boxe passionne Joyce Carol Oates depuis son adolescence. Elle a vu son premier combat dans les années 1950, en compagnie de son père. " Cela a touché, dit-elle, quelque chose de très profond en moi. Il y a là un mystère que j'essaie de percer. " Méditation profonde, nourrie par la vision des combats et les propos saisissants des athlètes sur leur activité et le sens qu'ils lui donnent - De la boxe est aussi une évocation historique, depuis les gladiateurs romains jusqu'aux boxeurs actuels : le style de vie monastique de Rocky Marciano avant un match, la grâce d'un Mohammmed Ali en pleine gloire, la violence dévastatrice de Myke Tyson, dernier grand champion dans l'histoire de ce sport - et de cet art. " La boxe, écrit Joyce Carol Oates, est notre théâtre tragique. L'individu réduit à lui-même. "
