Description

Every decade appears to create a book that reflects the imagination on an exciting, memorable trip using a tale that sweeps readers up and takes them. Ralph McLarty’s The Memory of Running is that this decade’s book. By all reports, particularly their own, Smithson “Smithy” Ide is just a loss. An overweight, friendless, chain-smoking, forty-three-year-old drunk, Smithy’s existence becomes totally unhinged when he drops his parents and long-lost sibling inside the period of 1 week.
