Alluding to no one necessarily, but describing so many people at once. Masterful. At first I kept trying to input a boxer into the descriptor. Due to his recent passing I went Ali. No. Doesnt describe him at all. Then Tyson. Maybe? Probably not. Towards the end I said, maybe someone more recent, more relevant such as McGregor? Upon a reread I realized, does it matter? Does the pugilist have to be a pugilist, or can he just be vainglorious? Can his ring be an octagon? Can it be performance stage? The writing, though specific, allowed a multitude of ideas to flourish and be connected. Something to truly take in. I appreciated that. Thank you.
