peril, the most striking thing is . . . [her]humanity. --Thom

which vibrantly capture the culture, characters, and atmosphere of
the sport [of boxing]. --The Portland Mercury

Katherine Dunn understands the sport instinctively and writes about
it intuitively in this rich collection of her work. Not to coin a
cliche, One Ring Circus is a 'Knockout'! --Bert Randolph Sugar,
writer and historian, Boxing Hall of Fame
Ms. Dunn's collection is already my candidate for boxing book of
the year. This one belongs on the top shelf alongside Heinz's Once
They Heard the Cheers and McIlvanney's The Hardest Game. --Peter
Ehrmann, CBZ Newswire, CyberBoxingZone
One of our finest novelists is also, hands-down, the best boxing
journalist working today. --Lucius Shepard, Nebula and Hugo
