Description
Norwalk, CT Easton Press 2002. Alan Sillitoe, "Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner". Hardcover, As New; A special Limited Edition, this copy SIGNED by AUTHOR Alan Sillitoe. "Cunning is what counts in life, " says the seventeen-year-old narrator of the title piece of this exuberant of darkly comic tales that established Alan Sillitoe as one of England"s best writers and gave a voice to an entire generation of angry young men. AN (As New). Very Fine condition. Still sealed in the original shrink-wrap.
Full of hard-won wisdom and gritty authenticity, these stories of working-class blokes slugging it out with the system in 1950s Nottingham resonate with the lusty defiance of those whose will cannot be broken by oppressive poverty. There is the rebellious youth of "the loneliness of the long distance runner, " whose running becomes a metaphor for his refusal to bow to societal rules in a delinquents" home. Sillitoe"s best known work, originally published in 1959, includes nine stories about working-class outsiders scorned by the "establishment", but determined to survive. Signed Edition. Binding is Full-Leather.
