Mark Kriegel with Rosie Perez at St. Joseph’s University in partnership with Greenlight Bookstore

Acclaimed biographer Mark Kriegel—former sports columnist for the New York Post and the Daily News and boxing analyst and essayist for ESPN—launches Baddest Man with Greenlight! From “the finest boxing writer in America”, whose coverage of Mike Tyson and his inner circle dates back to the 1980s, Baddest Man is a magnificent noir epic about fame, race, greed, criminality, trauma, and the creation of the most feared and mesmerizing fighter in boxing history. What Peter Guralnick did for Elvis in Last Train to Memphis and James Kaplan for Sinatra in Frank, Kriegel does for Tyson, capturing not just the dizzying ascent but his place in the American psyche. Brooklyn native, actor, and memoirist Rosie Perez, known as “The First Lady of Boxing”, joins Kriegel in conversation, followed by an audience Q&A and signing.
