READ A breakthrough examination of the professional

wrestling, its history, its fans, and its wider cultural impactGET

book The Squared Circle grows out of David

Shoemaker&#8217s writing for Deadspin, where he started the

column &#8220Dead Wrestler of the Week&#8221 (which

boasts more than 1 million page views)&#8212a feature on the

many wrestling superstars who died too young because of the

abuse they subject their bodies to&#8212and his writing for

Grantland, where he covers the pro wrestling world, and its

place in the pop culture mainstream. Shoemaker&#8217s

sportswriting has since struck a nerve with generations of

wrestling fans who&#8212like him&#8212grew up worshipping

a sport often derided as &#8220fake&#8221 in the wider

culture. To them, these professional wrestling superstars are

not just heroes but an emotional outlet and the lens through

which they learned to see the world. Starting in the early 1900s

and exploring the path of pro wrestling in America through the

present day, The Squared Circle is the first book to

acknowledge both the sport&#8217s broader significance and

wrestling fans&#8217 keen intellect and sense of irony.

Divided into eras, each section offers a snapshot of the

wrestling world, profiles some of the period&#8217s

preeminent wrestlers, and the sport&#8217s influence on our

broader culture. Through the brawling, bombast, and

bloodletting, Shoemaker argues that pro wrestling can teach

us about the nature of performance, audience, and, yes, art.

Full of unknown history, humor, and self-deprecating

reminiscence&#8212but also offering a compelling look at the

sport&#8217s rightful place in pop culture&#8212The Squared

Circle is the book that legions of wrestling fans have been

waiting for. In it, Shoemaker teaches us to look past the


spandex and body slams to see an art form that can explain

the world.
