That's a name I built from the ground up. I wasn't the first to systematically climb the ranks, beating the sugar out of everyone I had known to be inferior, leaving only the sour taste of defeat, my claim forever being:

"I am the greatest!"

I can still hear it now. In the silence of this locker room, blood drying on my face, I can still hear those words.

And I was. I was the greatest.

And then a voice says, "'Sugar'... you are no longer sweet with the science."

From the Back Cover

"Like a ghost fretting over its lost body (or is it bodies? - in this book whatever you think of as 'you' might simply float like a butterfly right into someone else's body) a boxer attests to his presence, damaged and shimmery though it may be. That this fractured first person narrator feels the need to put the word 'me' in quotes speaks volumes. Terrifying volumes. This elastic, hurtling narrative pivots (and pivots again) on a recurring image of almost unimaginable dread - that of being laughed at in your hour of need by an audience of strangers."
-Grace Krilanovich, author of The Orange Eats Creeps
