FIGHT FICTION: KID TINSEL ~ OCTAVUS ROY COHEN!
Possibly the scarcest of Cohen's many books, a hardboiled novel of the boxing underworld. It is one of Cohen's few ventures outside of Black dialect fiction and his only foray into fistiana. The book was the source of the 1941 B-movie The Pittsburgh Kid, starring light heavyweight champion Billy Conn.
New York: D. Appleton-Century Co. , 1941
