“Like Hemingway, Conaway’s descriptions of fighting benefit from his poetic and pugilistic discipline: taut, sharp, rhythmic. They are also honest.
“…Caged is an intelligent, brave, intimate memoir, one that rebuts many falsehoods about writers and fighters, minds and bodies. Nietzsche’s motto is alive and well in Conaway’s hands (and fists): ‘Become what you are.’”
