The Boxer's Soliloquy

Matt Lucas' first collection, The Boxer's Soliloquy, explores the intricacies of Thailand's most famous martial art. Set against the squalor of Bangkok and in the sweaty confines of Muay Thai gyms, only gradually do the tales reveal their true intentions. These are fifteen stories about the ring, the ropes, the fighters, the smack of bodies against bodies, and the relationships in between.


"Matt has hit the nail squarely on the head with his depictions of the life of a foreign fighter in Thailand, writing with an authenticity that could only come from someone that has experienced it first hand. It makes for a very engaging and entertaining read!" -Rob Cox, Muay Thai Sports Journalist for Muay Thai Focus


"I was immediately drawn into "Boxer's Soliloquy", Matt has a way with words that brings you up close and personal with all of the characters. You can imagine yourself right there with them. I found myself not wanting to put it down."-Kevin Ross WBC International Muay Thai Super Lightweight Champion
