  Kerry Howley - Thrown
  Kerry
Howley, Thrown, Sarabande Books, 2014
  
  “Thrown is compulsively readable, informative,
hilarious…. a ferocious dissection of the essence of the spectator.” — Katherine Dunn, New York Times
Book Review
  
  “The precision of Howley’s prose reminds me of Joan Didion or David Foster
Wallace: she’s so involved with the fight, it’s as if she were trying to eat it with words. Howley writes
like someone who’s been flayed, all nerve endings exposed, no barriers between her and the world around her. She
writes like somebody in ecstasy.” — Lev Grossman, Time
  
  “This sui generis debut
threatens to remap the entire genre of nonfiction…. Howley’s brilliant prose is as dexterous and doughty as
the fighters she trails, torquing into philosophy, parody, and sweat-soaked poetry. — boxed, starred review,
Publishers Weekly 
  
  “What “Thrown” finally reminded me of were not the bold, gonzo
pieces of America’s best mainstream magazines, but some of the boldest voices of twentieth-century fiction. The
nearly hysterical circumlocutory gymnastics of the narrator, and her dual position as a predator and supplicant to her
fighters, reminded me of nothing so much as Humbert Humbert, with immense cauliflower-eared men in the startling role of
Lolita… I found it incredibly bracing, and, remembering all my depressed airport afternoons, proud-making in some
strange way. Howley stepped into the cage and stepped out of it with something new and stunning.” —
Salon
  
  This is the closest look any writer has ever taken at fighting, and it reaches an astonishing level
of intimacy…. easily the best inside-fights book every written.—Deadspin
  
  “Thrown is a
triangle choke, a leglock, a one-two-three sequence of humor, passion, and philosophy. It’s a knockout debut. A
round one win.” —Oxford American
  
  “Thrown is the best sort of essay, not an argument,
but an antidote. —The Rumpus
  
  “The fight book of our generation has landed…. a
fantastic debut, and an immediate addition to the great canon of fight-lit, down from Jack London to O. Henry to
Oates.” —The Week 
  
  “A fresh, funny, and highly cerebral treatise on the philosophical
merits of cage fighting… she challenges not only the stigma surrounding the sport but the conventions of literary
nonfiction itself.” —The Boston Globe
  
  “With art and artifice, [Howley] restores to
ecstasy its creative force.” —Boston Review
  
  “Thrown is Kerry Howley’s masterful
debut. A work of rigorous nonfiction that’s sure to be branded experimental, but that’s as involving and
page-turning as any book I’ve read in a while.” —Gary Shteyngart
  
  “Who can
explain what draws a young brilliant writer—and a woman no less—to be mesmerized by the sight of a young
man being pummeled in the ring? But out of this passion—maybe obsession—comes a great American story about
overlooked heroes, the nature of violence, hope, love and nearly everything else that matters.” —Hanna
Rosin, author of The End of Men
  
  “Kerry Howley gives us a front row seat to the dark, brutal inner
world of cage fighters. About the yearning dream for fame, the way violence becomes both poetry and obsession, and the
way life can lift you up or crush you, this isn’t just a masterpiece debut, it’s an electrifying
classic.” —Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Is This Tomorrow and Pictures of You
  
  “Out of the dank basements and glitzy arenas of a brutal sport, Kerry Howley has created a story that
is virtuous, rapturous, and utterly consequential. In language that’s as daring as it is astute, she tells the
story of two young guys from the middle of America, an overachiever and an underachiever, whom the world, it turns out,
has equally little use for. It’s a story we’ve read about a thousand times, and one we’ve seen
nothing else like. This is a gloriously heartbreaking debut.” —John D’Agata, author of About a
Mountain and The Lifespan of a Fact
  
  “Lyrical and brutal in its subject matter, the poetic voice
within offers humor, heart, and grace from the first page and kept me in awe until the end. This is a powerful book
reminiscent of Hemingway’s early work.” —Frank Bill, author of Crimes in Southern Indiana and
Donnybrook
