Sunday You Learn How to Box: A Novel

Book Description

Fourteen-year-old Louis Bowman is in a boxing ring -- a housing project circa 1968 -- fighting "just to get to the end of the round." Sharing the ring is his mother, Jeanette Stamps, a ferociously stubborn woman battling for her own dreams to be realized; his stepfather, Ben Stamps, the would-be savior, who becomes the sparring partner to them both; and the enigmatic Ray Anthony Robinson, the neighborhood "hoodlum," in purple polyester pants, who sets young Louis's heart spinning with the first stirrings of sexual longing. Bil Wright deftly evokes an unrelenting world with quirky humor and clear-eyed unsentimentality.

James Baldwin meets E. Lynn Harris.......2007-06-28

Yet,Wright clearly has a voice all his own. I absolutely loved this book, it was written with such subtle emotionality. Wright allows the reader to feel what the main character is going through without hitting you over the head with it. It's that subtlety that separates him from so many contemporary writers, who, in my opinion, take the easy way out. Kudos to you, Mr. Wright! I'm looking forward to reading more of your work.

An unlikely saviour.......2007-01-04

As the story opens Ben Stamp, troubled Louis Bowman's stepfather has just died following a family row. It had seemed that Ben might have given Louis the means to overcome all his problems by teaching him how to box, but now that it's just him and his mother and Louis retells his difficult life so far and on going events as they unfold.
Louis is different from other boys and suffers the consequences, being the target of bullying. He is also embarrassed that he responds to and enjoys the physical groping from a married man he encounters on several occasions while travelling the train to visit his grandfather. Not surprisingly he is having difficulties handling all his problems and so is sent for a course of regular psychiatric help.
I found this a lively and delicious story; Louis is a lovable character despite his often self imposed problems. While he establishes a warm relationship with his therapist, his real saviour comes in a most unlikely form, the flamboyant Ray Anthony Robinson, the local rogue, both feared and respected. It occurs shortly after Ben is given a new bike for Christmas and after his first real encounter with Ray when he grabbed and then rode off on the bike; much to Ben's surprise he returned the bike safely. The next time Louis takes his bike out he is physically set upon by some local bullies, to his surprise rescue comes when Ray intervenes on his behalf. There begins a strange but most endearing relationship between the two boys that builds to a most heart-warming and triumphant climax.

A boy's life becomes his own boxing ring.......2004-06-16

Fourteen-year-old Louis Bowman lives his life from round to round in Bil Wright's Sunday You Learn How to Box.

Wright tells the poignant tale of Louis' battles with his alcoholic mother and with his violent stepfather - both ending tragically, making it all seem starkly realistic. Wright's simplistic writing takes his readers into the mind of a young teen-ager, exposing emotions and urges.

In this, Wright's first novel, he gets to the heart of his story while giving minute details, heightening the tension of the tale.

Amidst the turmoil of his family, Louis is fighting his own battle to win the attention and affection of the neighborhood hoodlum, Ray Anthony Robinson.

Wright begins the story of Louis in medias res - in the middle of things.

The first startling sentence reveals that Louis' stepfather Ben has died. After grim and gory details about the police and on-looking neighbors, Wright takes the reader back to the beginning.

Louis and his mother are living in the projects with aspirations of getting out. She works days at Saks Fifth Avenue and evenings cleaning offices in order to save money. Marrying Ben becomes part of her grand scheme to move her life somewhere better.

After his mother marries, Louis watches his family's money situation worsen. His mom gets pregnant and Ben treats him horribly, calling him a sissy and hitting him.

The only sweet times in Louis' life are Saturdays after he and his mom have cleaned the floors. His mom sends him to the store for scotch, which she drinks while he has soda.

The more alcohol his mother consumes, the more willing she becomes to tell Louis about his real father and about her life back in Harlem when she was younger. Louis loves to listen to his mother's Billie Holiday records while his mother tells him about the time she met the singer and designed some clothes for her.

One Christmas Louis' mother buys him a red bike for Christmas. She insists that Louis go right outside and teach himself how to ride, despite the snow and ice on the ground. Louis falls off many times and the neighborhood boys mock him. Ben comes out to help teach him how to ride and he ends up making fun of Louis, too.

It turns out that sexy Ray Anthony Robinson is the only man who can motivate Louis to learn to ride his bike. His disarming sex appeal convinces Louis that bike-riding is worthwhile.

Louis' mother and Ben decide to teach Louis how to box so he can defend himself. Every Sunday Ben and Louis fight each other in the living room and every Sunday, Louis loses the fight.

The only ray of light in Louis' life is his occasional spotting of Robinson. As his infatuation with the man grows, Louis actually gets up the courage to talk to and befriend him. He even calls him on the telephone after a fluke meeting on the subway leads to Robinson giving Louis his telephone number.

In his living room, Louis fights a losing battle. But Robinson, described almost comically in his purple, polyester pants proves to be the man in the corner of the ring giving him motivation to keep fighting.

In a note at the end of the book, Wright says his goal in writing Sunday you Learn How to Box was to provide people with HIV and AIDS a story they could relate to. Wright teaches people with AIDS to help improve their reading skills and it were his students who convinced him of the lack of available books targeted at them.

Wright succeeds in creating a simple story that can reach his audience, move his audience, and touch many others, regardless of their connection to AIDS or the gay community.

Honest, Vivid, and All-Too-Real.......2004-03-02

From characters whose every words ring true, to the deep longing of adolescent love, Wright has crafted a remarkable novel full of memorable individuals and situation. Part coming-of-age and part slice-of-life, Sundays offers much to young readers as well as those of us who lived these feelings decades ago. If this first novel is an indication of Wright's ability to develop strong characters and tell real stories, E. Lynn Harris ought to watch his back.

an invitation into a sad, unique life.......2002-07-05

What is most interesting about Wright's boxing motif is that the main character's abuse is more or less what leads to his liberation. Despite his mothers' generally selfish motivations and his step-father's brutality, Louis Bowman's story is one of triumph. The most poignant part of Wright's story are the places where the young narrator gives us the briefest glimpses of friendship between him and his mother, and how few these moments were. Minor characters such as a racist schoolteacher and a pedophile businessman are well drawn. I wouldn't expect much cross over from fans of E. Lynn Harris or James Earl Hardy, the two most prominent writers of gay African-American fiction, as their writing tends to be a lot more gossipy and soap-operatic. Wright's work is a fair amount more literary, and would probably appeal more to fans of Edwidge Danticat's "Breath, Eyes, Memory." From the perspective of someone who is more or less caucasian, this book opens up a whole new world of gay experience that went unexplored in classics such as A Boy's Own Story and The Best Little Boy In The World. Certainly worth the price of admission.

Book Description

Is it the war to end all wars--or war without end? What began as a conflict in Europe, when Germany unleashed a lightning assault on its enemies, soon spreads to North America, as a long-simmering hatred between two independent nations explodes in bloody combat. Twice in fifty years the Confederate States of America had humiliated their northern neighbor. Now revenge may at last be at hand.

Into this vast, seething cauldron plunges a new generation of weaponry changing the shape of war and the balance of power. While the Confederate States are distracted by an insurgency of African Americans who dream of establishing their own socialist republic, the United States are free to bring their military and industrial might directly to bear--and to unleash the most horrific armored assault the world has ever seen. Victory is at hand. But at a price that may be worse than war itself . . .

The NEVER Ending Story Ends! - Part 3.......2005-07-03

"Breakthroughs" is the third - and finally - final book of Harry Turtledove's "The Great War" trilogy. To recap where we are in this series: the trilogy is an outgrowth of a single book: "How Few Remain". This book really made me want to read the trilogy because the premise and characters; especially General Custer; were wonderfully drawn. This book wrought the Great War trilogy: 1) American Front, 2) Walk in Hell, and 3) Breakthroughs. The first two in the trilogy were disappointing but this third one recaptures the promise of "How Few Remain". This final book completes the apparently never ending story of nasty Southerners, displaced Mexicans, incompetent Northern officers and feisty Canadians reappear who NEVER died! As with the first book, by the end of this one you will wish that the carnage had been more complete - you pray for the invention of the atomic bomb to end all of civilization but there are no more volumes to go.
It you are like me and want to make sure that you start at the beginning of an author's work and read through to the end, no matter how many volumes, this third volume renews your style. I have read the entire trilogy and even though I really liked this volume the best, my bottom line has not changed. Take this trilogy to the beach, mountains or lake and if you have a vacation of rain where you have to be indoors, this trilogy will fill those hours. If you don't finish the trilogy during your vacation, PLEASE leave them for the next humans to inhabit that vacation space.
This volume begins, yet again, with George Enos resolving of his Confederate prison camp experience by practicing on an anti-aircraft gun to begin blasting away at Confederate warplanes. Of course, as I look back at the previous two books, it has all been practice! Don't get me wrong, all the character story lines - and there are dozens to keep straight - are interesting. This volume bring to the series vivid pictures of tank battles and aircraft battles reminiscent of the World War i Flying Circus. SO, do these many, many characters finally meet their end? I don't want to spoil you reading pleasure if you have slugged through the first two but the last two sentences of the book say: "She (Anne Colleton) looked north, not into the swamp but far beyond. 'We've got the damnyankees to catch up with, after all.'" Turtledove's story has NOT ended....
If you have gotten through all three of these reviews here's my recommendation: read the prequel to the Trilogy - "How Few Remain" and the last of the trilogy "The Great War: Breakthroughs". You won't miss the heart of Turtledove's story.

Satisfying conclusion to Turtledove's alternative Great War.......2004-08-05

This book represents the final volume in Harry Turtledove's trilogy-within-a-tetralogy alternative history series about a world where the United States and Confederate States of America continue to face off against one another decades after the Civil War. After updating readers with the status of all the characters from where they were left at the end of the second volume, Turtledove proceeds to take readers through the final year of the war as seen through their experiences. Their geographical and occupational diversity - from a former steelworker fighting in Texas to a young Socialist congresswoman from New York - gives the reader a good sampling of the war from a variety of perspectives, yet at the same time stressing many of the common experiences of war.

While entertaining, however, Turtledove's narrative has lost much of its freshness. While the characters are familiar, as some other reviewers have noted there is a repetition to their accounts that often gives the appearance of treading narrative water. The conclusion of the war helps to break much of this monotony, yet it ends in a way that is clearly a set-up for the subsequent novels, as the characters are being too obviously positioned for the postwar roles that Turtledove expects them to serve. Fans of the earlier novels, though, will find much to enjoy in the familiarity of characters to which they've become attached, as well as the satisfaction of reaching the end of his conceptualization of an alternative "Great War."

The costs of war.......2004-07-29

In "How Few Remain", Harry Turtledove proposed an alternative history in which the South prevailed in the Civil War. In the "Great War" trilogy, the USA, now allied with Imperial Germany, is looking for revenge against the Confederate States of America and their Canadian and British allies. When war breaks out in Europe, the two American rivals join their allies and open an American theater to the war. Here, in the final book of the trilogy, the war draws to its bloody conclusion, as new tactics based on evolving technology break the brutal stalemate that has defined the years of trench warfare. These breakthroughs rapidly lead to victory, and the victors, bent on revenge, intend to punish their opponents, thus planting the seeds for future hostilities.

Turtledove uses more than a dozen characters to tell this story, representing almost every point of view. We have the stories of civilians, soldiers, and sailors; elisted men and officers; white and black; North, South, and Canadian. We see the sweeping scope of the war on the homefront, as well as on both fronts: In Canada, from Quebec to Ontario to Manitoba; and in the South, from Virginia, to Kentucky and Tenessee, to west of the Mississippi. What most impresses me is that the characters here are real rather than stereotypes. There are characters on both sides that are sympathetic, and just as many on both sides that are despicable. Its hard to decide which side is more right or wrong--they each have virtues and faults. In this, Turtledove's alternate history mirror's reality: There are seldom any easy answers, and most issues are shrouded in layers of grey.

I found this series to be a highly entertaining speculative exercise. His extrapolations seem at least passibly plausible, and it is interesting to see how he fits authentic historical figures into his alternate reality. I look forward to reading his next series, and seeing how he deals with the aftermath of the war.

General Custer ends up the hero!.......2004-01-10

Breakthroughs wraps up the story of WWI as fought on American soil and at risk of giving away the ending: the US wins. Turtledove brings closure to most of the stories he has woven into the war. Some end well, others in tragedy. There were some very interesting twists and turns, not the least of which is that General Custer turns out to be the hero of the war. He also sets many of the cast up for their part in the American Empire series which follows. The main complaint I have about Breakthroughs (and the entire series in general) is Turtledove's need to rehash the core point of each story as he switches back and forth between them. In theory one could read any of the books independently, but I don't think he should have wasted the space rehashing every little thing that happened in the first two novels over and over again.

The excitement is tenser than its prequels........2003-12-12

When I started to read the last half of this book I could not put it down! (Luckily that was a Sunday...)

The end of the awful global conflict could finally be in sight. Though since Woodrow Wilson is not even President of the Confederate States any more, the end may not see the birth of a League of Nations. Or even be declared "The war to end all wars". Who knows?

It is now 1917, and, like Europe and the rest of the world, the war is going nowhere in the Americas. It is a horrible deadlock, thousands and thousands of men from both sides have been killed on land or sea. But no government will give up.

And desperate times call for desperate measures. The Confederate States are seriously considering asking for negro army volunteers and the United States are sending so many telegrams to widows that they are not much better off. Then various other nations around the world begin to quit the war or lose, so it becomes clearer that North America could soon be on its own.

The protagonists we have come to know and love (or simply acquainted) all relate the closing moments of the worst war this parallel earth has ever seen. Some will survive, some will not. Some will be irrevocably shattered forever, and a tiny handful will benefit. And, for a certain grumpy old general who would have been killed by Indians in 1876 if the USA stayed whole, his moment could be coming.

As I said this book is hard to put down. You will read about victory, defeat, personal vendettas, nail-biting battles, and, as the author always delivers, historical ironies. (I certainly love the irony of 78 year-old general Custer commanding battalions of tanks!)

But this book is not the end, far from it! See also "The American Empire" trilogy that follows. (Could be USA Empire or CSA Empire, I'm not telling.)

Book Description

This fascinating and instructive book offers a revealing, blow-by-blow description of secret, headline-making negotiations in the Middleast, Korea, Africa, and Bosnia, as well as an invaluable guide to conducting such a difficult process of tremendous practical application to a wide variety of conflict resolution professionals.

Based on extensive interviews and research with key players at the highest level, this book not only tells some incredibly dramatic stories but shows how to use these demonstrated strategies, skills, improvisational interventions and other techniques. Detailing breakthrough negotiations which brought the Israelis and Palestinians together for the first time in Oslo, built the Gulf War Coalition, ended the great divide between North and South Korea, and terminated the war in Bosnia, the authors employ a compelling narrative and didactic style to explain how to understand and apply sophisticated, field-tested methods of dispute resolution in a variety of situations.

Understanding Negotiations Through Case Studies.......2002-05-07

This volume provides an excellent conceptual framework for analyzing four post-Cold War conflicts: the United States' nuclear dispute with North Korea; the Oslo peace negotiations; coalition building in the Gulf crisis; and the Dayton talks to end the war in Bosnia. Its authors, an associate professor of business administration at Harvard Business School and a case writer at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, rely on the support of the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School in their research. The book's great strength is the tight link the authors establish between negotiation analysis and the case studies.

In the initial chapter, the authors identify seven principles used by "breakthrough negotiators," the people who are capable of working around seemingly insurmountable obstacles, or of achieving unexpectedly positive resolutions through the negotiating process. The authors show that breakthrough negotiators shape the structure of negotiating situations; create time to learn about colleagues at the table; control the bargaining process to influence perceptions of interests and alternatives by each party involved; understand the interaction between diplomacy and the use of force; diagnose potential sources of conflict; build momentum to secure an agreement; and act to bridge internal bargaining within their own teams, and external negotiations with those around the table.

The core concepts presented in the first part of the volume--diagnosing structure, identifying barriers to agreement, managing conflict, and building momentum--are familiar to those conversant with the negotiation literature. Their application, particularly to the North Korean case, sheds light on the issues and the interests of each side. For example, the authors illuminate with interesting details the mediating role of former president Jimmy Carter and the negotiating style of Robert Gallucci, former assistant secretary for political-military affairs.

The second part of the volume examines the approaches experienced negotiators use to manage conflict and build momentum. In analyzing the Oslo process, the authors make a crucial distinction and describe the role of the Norwegians as facilitators, not mediators. In other words, the Norwegians aimed to help the parties get to know each other and overcome psychological barriers. Much of the preparatory work in negotiations and coalition building involves attitudinal structuring and is, therefore, rooted in social psychology and intercultural awareness. In light of this fact, the volume would be strengthened by an explicit reference to an ethics of negotiations, addressing the ways in which questions of fairness, justice, and transparency come into play. The Gulf coalition and the Dayton cases underscore the necessity of informing domestic constituencies about the pressures of the international negotiation processes. A key ethical concern, to which the authors might have devoted more attention, is how a third-party mediator can help ensure that any settlement be perceived as the end result of the parties' own negotiation process instead of as his or her arbitrary dictate.

In the Dayton case, the fact that the negotiations did not address Kosovo and the significant Albanian majority there is obviously significant. This omission led to the increasingly violent acts of the Kosovo Liberation Army that preceded the NATO bombing campaign of Serbia in the spring of 1999. These events raise a crucial point, related to Kant's categorical imperative, about the ways in which negotiators may retain respect for the basic human rights of those who are not present. Kant asks his fellow human beings to treat others as having intrinsic value and to act in accordance with principles that are valid for others. According to Kant, then, we are obliged to consider techniques negotiators could develop to focus attention on the rights of those not at the table, because their destinies may be profoundly altered by agreements reached in their absence. The authors, however, do not explore this issue.

Even though a more explicit reference to the ethics of negotiations could strengthen this volume, its content provides an excellent point of departure for analyzing the intrastate conflict that most likely will dominate the twenty-first-century agenda. The cases rely on interviews with a number of the key actors involved in the negotiations analyzed. In addition, each case is written in a clear and concise manner that allows for role-playing and debriefing in classes addressing global politics. The closing pages provide an easily accessible update of the cases. A leading group of alternative dispute-resolution professionals has already awarded this book its annual prize. For practitioners, students, and instructors, Breakthrough International Negotiation is one of the best sources for the analysis and teaching of negotiation in practice--especially given the challenges we face in the current environment.

A Framework for Negotiating Complexity.......2002-01-24

Breakthrough International Negotiation skillfully synthesizes the most important negotiation literature, and develops a new and more sophisticated framework to help a negotiator formulate strategy in complex, high stakes negotiation contexts. The book's framework yields a series of questions and issues for the negotiator to consider in preparation, at the table and away from the table. It is not and cannot be a simple "how to". Rather, it enables the intelligent reader to become a more reflective practioner, by suggesting what questions to ask him or herself and thus how to learn well from experience. I am familiar with much of the existing negotiation literature; this is the first one to closely describe the real world of messy and hard to manage negotiations. Negotiations lessons aside, the chapters of "thick" description of recent major international negotiations are fascinating and closely focused history. They also serve as sources for the authors' framework, and help the reader understand how to apply it.
This book's value is not at all limited to international diplomacy. As a professor teaching negotiation in a law school, I plan to assign significant portions to my students and to recommend it to legal professionals. I would send it to any friend who is a leader in an organization, thrust into complex, high stakes, hard to manage negotiations.
It is beautifully written, a pleasure to read.

excellent textbook.......2001-12-14

Michael Watkins and Susan Rosegrant--a Harvard Business School professor and a Kennedy School case writer respectively--have written a
book that succeeds on several levels but that is ultimately less powerful than it might have been, probably as a result of trying to serve too
many masters. The authors provide really fascinating accounts of four post-Cold War negotiations--nuclear arms proliferation talks between
the U.S. and North Korea; the Israeli-Palestinian talks leading to the Oslo Accords; the creation of the Gulf War coalition (1991); and the
confrontation between the US (and Europe) and Serbia that led to the Dayton Peace Accords--that each resulted, in their view, in some kind
of major breakthrough, some difficult to achieve result. These accounts are based on what must have been extensive interviews with key
players, who are quoted frequently and who share the concerns and concepts that influenced them. The book would be worthwhile even if
all it contained were these detailed, often thrilling, narratives of several significant recent foreign policy conflicts.

But, in addition, these four negotiations provide the authors with the jump off points for extensive discussions of the personalities involved
and the tactics they used. The book is published by the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School, and in many ways it represents an
attempt to bring the Socratic method out of the class room and on to the written page. In parenthetical asides they ask the reader to consider
why certain players took certain actions or how a key decision may have influenced the whole course of events, etc.. As you read, the
authors are virtually present, pushing and prodding (in a helpful way) to make sure that you are conscious of the negotiating ploys that
participants utilize.

Meanwhile, in their own analysis of events, they spell out the four core concepts of what they call "breakthrough negotiation" :

(1) Diagnosing structure

(2) Identifying barriers to agreement

(3) Managing conflict

(4) Building momentum

and seven principles that guide breakthrough negotiators :

(1) Breakthrough Negotiators Shape the Structure of Their Situations

(2) Breakthrough Negotiators Organize to Learn

(3) Breakthrough Negotiators are Masters of Process Design

(4) Breakthrough Negotiators Foster Agreement When Possible But Employ Force When Necessary

(5) Breakthrough Negotiators Anticipate and Manage Conflict

(6) Breakthrough Negotiators Build Momentum Toward Agreement

(7) Breakthrough Negotiators Lead from the Middle

They use innumerable examples to illustrate these concepts and principles and the overall structure certainly provides a framework that
would be useful to anyone involved in negotiations. In this regard, they have produced what will likely be an excellent textbook for use in
the classroom.

So far so good; but the book also seems to be at least partially intended for a wider audience, and here it runs into some difficulties, largely
as a result of the textbook format and of the choice of geopolitical negotiations as a subject matter. As a threshold matter, I don't believe
that these negotiations between nation states hold terribly many lessons for business executives, who are presumably a significant portion of
the intended wider audience, because one or both of the participants in these cases usually lack the option of just ending the negotiation, an
option which is almost always available in the business setting. Coca-Cola can simply decide not to buy Joe's Cola and can walk away, but
Serbia can't really ignore the United States and Western Europe. No businessman, not even a Bill Gates, is ever likely to have the
overwhelming leverage that the U.S. brings to the negotiating table.

The biggest problem though is that if you apply the first of the authors' own core concepts (diagnosing structure) to their chosen four
examples you see that the breakthrough generally occurred prior to, or at, the moment negotiations started. Thus, the actual content of the
Oslo Accords was pretty much insignificant; what really mattered was the implicit admission by the parties that Israel and a Palestinian state
were each realities that the other side needed to cope with. Even today, with the relationship between Israel and the Palestinians at its all
time nadir, they are relatively close to a final accord. Israel will eventually declare a Palestinian state unilaterally and the Palestinians will
be forced to accept the boundaries that Israel imposes. The breakthrough occurred with Oslo when the two sides, just by entering
negotiations, acknowledged each others existence as a political fact.

(...)

Mind you, the authors are so thorough, insightful, and honest that they do discuss many of these issues, even if only tangentially, and they
are forthright in depicting "breakthrough negotiators" as those folks (Richard Holbrooke and James Baker, for example) who keep their eye
on the big picture and don't get distracted by the particulars of agreements. (...)
