'The fighter: a true story' by Arnold Zable
Moreland City Libraries - Read More program
Acclaimed author Arnold Zable tells the story of Henry Nissen, a boy from working-class Carlton, who fought his way up to become a champion boxer, beating some of the world’s best.
Now working on the Melbourne docks, Henry’s real work is on the streets, giving the disaffected another chance.
Ever present is the memory of another fighter, his mother, and her devastating decline into madness.
Hear Arnold discuss this moving portrait of a compassionate man.
