Ron McLarty's \u003ci\u003eThe Memory of Running\u003c\/i\u003e is this decade's novel. By all accounts, especially his own, Smithson \"Smithy\" Ide is a loser. An overweight, friendless, chain-smoking, forty-three-year-old drunk, Smithy's life becomes completely unhinged when he loses his parents and long-lost sister within the span of one week. Rolling down the driveway of his parents' house in Rhode Island on his old Raleigh bicycle to escape his grief, the emotionally bereft Smithy embarks on an epic, hilarious, luminous, and extraordinary journey of discovery and redemption.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Memory of Running | Ron McLarty | Paperback | 9780143036685 | Used: Very Good | Fiction 1675974","offer_id":50794298048770,"sku":"1675974","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71Hqkwa3YqL.jpg?v=1792354575","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/memory-of-running","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
