Book excerpt: When the author of this book was growing up in a sleepy Australian mining town in the 1950s, the most exciting event of the year was the arrival of Jimmy Sharman's boxing tent. When the author returned to Australia after many years abroad he discovered that a few boxing tents still existed in remote, northern Australia. McLennan worked at one of these tents and in the process of finding out what makes a man fight for money, he learned a lot about Australia and a lot about himself.
