Remainder Mark On Bottom Edge. 0374250472. 421 pages. hardcover. Background photograph by Thomas A. Brown. keywords: African American History Autobiography America. DESCRIPTION - In this momentous debut, Randolph Bates finds in the daily lives of one American family the pathos and drama we usually associate with the finest fiction. Rings takes as its protagonist Collis Phillips. a black man who, one generation away from slavery, managed to turn a youth of caddying, shoeshining, and running bootlegged whiskey into a career as a successful boxer in New Orleans during the days of Jim Crow. But by the time Randolph Bates first met him in 1979 Collis Phillips was facing more difficult obstacles. Shot and seriously injured by his own daughter while at the top of his game as a trainer, Phillips had endured the suicide of one son and the long-term incarceration of two others in the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola, one of the most dangerous maximum-security prisons in the country. Over the next ten years, Randolph Bates followed Collis Phillips and his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and even great-great-grandchildren, not only as a biographer but as a friend. After his firsthand experience of boxing in the gym, Bates watched the Phillipses triumph in the ring: later, he sat at the trials of two generations of Phillips men, and attended the funerals of others. He saw at close range the acute rigors of poverty, racism, and neglect; and he witnessed, too, the strength and resilience of a family that has suffered and survived. Like James Agee's LET US NOW PRAISE FAMOUS MEN, RINGS finds the heart of American heroism in people who have had little chance to stake their claim to the American dream. With a historian's eye for detail and a poet's graceful style, Randolph Bates has written a shattering, multigenerational saga of urban American life. inventory #21929 Very Good in Dustjacket.
