Frappuscrire ‘hitscription’. Literature as a strike force

The Rimboxing Club began with an experiment: linking boxing movements in series of 12, so as to box alexandrines and, ultimately, a sonnet. The experiment was published as a video on instagram @arthur.letertre.auteur and on #rimboxingclub.

I found that boxing and the martial arts - and dance - share with literature the need for training and rhythm, but also questions of transmission and schools, and the meaning of commitment. In order to highlight these similarities and to draw on them for the benefit of fighters and artists alike, I have written a book devoted to 36 concepts shared by these seemingly very different arts.

I'm still looking for a publisher willing to accept the manuscript.

Here is the introduction. If you like the idea, tell people about it and maybe it will win over a publisher!
