Description

One of Britain''s outstanding novelists, Tim Parks is also a provocative, entertaining and accomplished essayist. This new collection''s title is drawn from D. H. Lawrence''s fundamental belligerence, and how all the significant relationships in his life, including those with his readers and critics, were characterised by intense intimacy and ferocious conflict.

Elsewhere there are literary essays on tension and conflict in the work of Beckett or Hardy, Bernhard and Dostoevsky, amongs others. Parks is also known for his acerbic chronicles of Italian life and here are essays on Mussolini, Machiavelli and the Medici.

Besides discussing questions of history, politics and literature, The Fighter also takes on that most serious tussle: World Cup football.
