Author Information

THE LONGHAIRED BOXER took author Ed. (Aka Chu Chu) Malave twelve years to complete. He struggled with depression, coming to terms with haunting memories. As the much-publicized New York boxer in the early '70s whose pretty face, shoulder-length locks and gladiator style, Mr. Malave defied convention, injecting glitz and glamour into sports, opening the door for athletes to bring more to their game than just talent. Mr. Malave broke every rule to be his own man. He acted on the NY Stage and Hollywood TV shows and movies, working with Barbra Streisand, Al Pacino, Ryan O'Neal and Robert Duval, to name a few. When acting jobs dried-up, he became homeless. His toughest battle. He wrote his story as a way of understanding how he had fallen so low. The former boxer/actor attended California State University, Los Angeles, as a 52-year-old high school dropout and received a Bachelors Degree in English. He just completed his first novel, Spanish Eyes, a romantic, action-packed adventure story. The Longhaired Boxer is the triumph of rising, falling, and RISING AGAIN. A story of a fight for dignity? TLB is a gut-wrenching story of overcoming life's most eviscerating hammer blows. Mr. Malave's tome is an inspiration.
