Description
The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner
A groundbreaking collection of stories from post-war Britain, exploring the hardship and hope of a generation. The title story, a poignant tale of defiance and isolation, follows a young rebel as he navigates the bleak landscape of institutionalised Borstal.
Alan Sillitoe's powerful depiction of the working class in the English Midlands remains as potent today as it was when first published in the 1960s. This re-issue offers a chance to experience the raw emotion and gritty realism that defined a generation.
