"Praise for Rope Burns"
"'The best boxing short fiction ever written ... [A] hymn to ferocious longing and loss' JAMES ELLROY"
"'F.X. Toole is a writer to break the heart. [Million Dollar Baby] is utterly fascinating, a complete and generous vision of a world most of us can never approach ... Toole reads like one who has journeyed to Hades and back, bursting with tales of what he has seen. He's the Archie Moore of his craft' Joyce Carol Oates"
