 | Fat City by Leonard Gardner
Billy Tully and Ernie Munger are two second-rate boxers who live in a backwater town in California and seem unable to stop their steady slide into mediocrity and despair. Billy works as a hired hand and drinks away whatever little money he gets; Ernie makes an unhappy marriage and slips into depression. They meet through their manager, Ruben Luna, and never manage to become friends or competitors. Bleak and depressing, `Fat City` serves well to portray two of the countless lost souls of Leonard Gardner`s bleak world. AUTHOR: Leonard Gardner
