The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner

The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner

Alan Sillitoe2007
"Smith, a defiant young rebel, inhabits the no-man's land of institutionalised Borstal. As his steady jog-trot rhythm transports him over an unrelenting, frost-bitten earth, he wonders why, for whom, and for what his is running. These stories capture the grim isolation of the working class in the English Midlands in the 1950s."--Back cover.
