The fight in 1910 between Arthur Cravan, surrealist manqué, semi-pro boxer and nephew of Oscar Wilde, and Jack Johnson, the first black American heavyweight champion, was a set-up to get Cravan into the States. But a very real love affair sprung from it that led to an impassioned marriage between Cravan and Mina Loy, celebrated poet and literary mistress. This much talked about first novel takes incidents of actual history as the source for a powerfully written story of love and friendship.
