    In his latest book, former world heavyweight boxing champion and ear-chomper Mike Tyson offers an intriguing literary spin as he reimagines the nature symbolism and "changing seasons" theme in Knut Hamsun's "Pan."

    Not really — and don't hit me, Mr. Tyson!

    Tyson actually does have a new book. It's titled "Iron Ambition: My Life with Cus D'Amato." It's the second memoir from Tyson after his bestselling and pretty irresistible 2014 volume called "Undisputed Truth." D'Amato was Tyson's longtime trainer and continues to serve as the ex-fighter's surrogate father.

    In a starred review of "Iron Ambition," Publisher's Weekly said: "In this tender and disturbing hybrid of memoir and biography ... Tyson examines one of the most unusual characters in boxing history.... Tyson's love for Cus D'Amato is more than apparent, but it doesn't lead him to downplay his teacher's myriad faults."

    On Wednesday, Tyson signs copies during an autograph session in The Shops at Mohegan Sun concourse. Advanced RSVP is strongly advised as quantities are limited.

    Mike Tyson, 7-9 p.m. Wednesday, Shops at Mohegan Sun concourse; $29.80 includes copy of the book, RSVP recommended; (860) 536-3795.

    Comment threads are monitored for 48 hours after publication and then closed.
