From the Publisher:

This is a true story about the most interesting person you’ve never heard of: Arthur Cravan, major figure in pre-WWI cutting-edge circles, was among the greatest mysterious figures of the Twentieth Century. A self-confessed thief, forger, and con-artist, he used a roster of assumed names and false identities. He was known, at various times, as a novelist, poet, painter, art critic, lecturer, publisher, and the boxing champion of France, Always a rebellious, restless spirit, this dedicated rule-breaker was a political radical whose friendship with Leon Trotsky earned him the surveillance of the US government—even through his immigration to Mexico with his wife, the poet Mina Loy. In 1918, at the age of thirty-one, the fascinating physical giant vanished without a trace, and—despite several supposed sightings over the years—was never seen again. It is possible that he became the mysterious, reclusive novelist B. Traven, who wrote the Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
