Known as the "Trieste Tiger," Mitri held the European title in 1949 and 1954.

Beat thrives on humor as public humiliation, but also as a refuge from the rigid social strictures of Japan. "I was sick of all the clichEs," he says. "So I started...
Gabriel's Story (Doubleday; 294 pages; $23.95) sometimes seems a little too derivative of William Faulkner as filtered through Cormac McCarthy: "The bull seemed to stand there for no particular purpose that it or the boys could make out, except as a spectacle reminiscent of some pagan culture." Never mind. Durham finds his own voice and rhythm, and the story gallops...
