The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner (Vintage

The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner (Vintage International)

Perhaps one of the most revered works of fiction in the twentieth-century, The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner is a modern classic about integrity, courage, and bucking the system. Its title story recounts the story of a reform school cross-country runner who seizes the perfect opportunity to defy the authority that governs his life. It is a pure masterpiece. From there the collection expands even further from the touching â€œOn Saturday Afternoonâ€ to the rollicking â€œThe Decline and Fall and Frankie Buller.â€ Beloved for its lean prose, unforgettable protagonists, and real-life wisdom, The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner captured the voice of a generation, and its poignant and empowering life lessons will continue to captivate and entertain readers for generations to come.
