<\/a><\/div>\nThe Slip<\/h3>\nby Lucas Schaefer<\/h4>\n
Release Date: June 3, 2025<\/p>\n
Austin, Texas: It\u2019s the summer of 1998, and there\u2019s a new face on the scene at Terry Tucker\u2019s Boxing Gym. Sixteen-year-old Nathaniel Rothstein has never felt comfortable in his own skin, but under the tutelage of a swaggering, Haitian-born ex-fighter named David Dalice, he begins to come into his own. Even the boy\u2019s slightly stoned uncle, Bob Alexander, who is supposed to be watching him for the summer, notices the change. Nathaniel is happier, more confident, tanner, and even. Then one night, he vanishes, leaving little trace behind.<\/p>\n
