PEN: Boxing

Where: Mendez Boxing, 251 5th Ave., New York City

Boxing has always held a special place among writers, including Norman Mailer, once PEN’s president. Our panel will bring informed and lively perspectives to discussing that tradition, as well as to the place of boxing and writing today, whether biography, journalism, fiction, or screenwriting, and the range of issues that writers take up when it comes to boxing.

With Lou Di Bella, Tor Hamer, David Margolick, and Tim Struby; moderated by Christopher Isenberg with an introduction by Steven L. Isenberg

Tickets: $15/$10 PEN Members, students with valid ID. Call (866) 811-4111 or visit ovationtix.com
