Summary
Perhaps one of the most revered works of twentieth-century fiction, The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner is a modern classic about integrity, courage, and bucking the system. In the title story, a reform-school cross-country runner seizes the perfect opportunity to defy the authority that governs his life.
