«Million Dollar Baby: La brûlure des cordes» is the short story collection by F.X. Toole, published by Albin Michel in paperback (312 pages, in French).
Stories set in boxing about trainers, fighters and characters at the edge of the ring. In the title story, Frankie Dunn, a veteran coach estranged from his daughter, agrees to train Maggie Fitzgerald, an aspiring boxer; from that relationship something more than sport emerges.
The original work, «Rope Burns: Stories from the Corner», was published in 2000 and received the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award and the California Book Award; the French edition appeared in 2005.
Recommended for readers of contemporary fiction and for those who want to discover the literary origin of the eponymous film by Clint Eastwood.
