Zustand: Muy bueno. : En esta fascinante novela, el lector conoce a Smithson (Smithy) Ide, un bebedor de cuarenta y tres años, con sobrepeso, sin amigos y fumador compulsivo, que trabaja como inspector de control de calidad en una fábrica de juguetes. En opinión de todos, especialmente en la suya, es un fracasado. Es entonces cuando, en el espacio de una semana, sus padres, a quienes adora, mueren en un accidente de coche, y Smithy se entera de que el cadáver de Bethany, su hermana, que sufría de trastornos emocionales y cuyo paradero se desconocía desde hacía mucho tiempo, había aparecido en una morgue de Los Ángeles. Habiendo visto romperse todas las ataduras con la pérdida de su familia - Smithy siempre había acariciado la esperanza del regreso de su hermana -, baja por el camino de acceso de la casa de sus padres montado en su vieja bicicleta Raleigh y se lanza a un viaje épico que le hará atravesar literalmente América. La memoria de correr, el asombroso debut de Ron McLarty como novelista, anuncia la llegada de una nueva voz de importancia primordial en la ficción americana. Y Smithy Ide -triste, dulce y divertido, aunque sin ser consciente de ello- es un personaje que perdurará en la mente de los lectores mucho después de que hayan terminado sus divertidas, fulgurantes y extraordinarias aventuras.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Smithson Ide's life so far has led him nowhere. He's 43 years old, weighs 279 pounds, and keeps himself numb with food and alcohol. His only emotional ties are to his parents and to the memory of his older sister, Bethany, who has been missing for 20 years. Then his parents die in a car crash and he learns of Bethany's death in LA County. Suddenly there isn't enough beer in the world to keep Smithy from his feelings. Drunk and bereft, he takes his old Raleigh bicycle and starts cycling. Once he starts, he can't stop and then he's riding across America to recover his sister. Along the way he meets all sorts of people who help or hinder him. He hears the confession of a priest, he rescues a boy from a snow storm, he has a gun pointed in his face, he's hit by a truck and helps a man dying of AIDS. Smithy's ride is an extraordinary quest, to rediscover the past and memories of Bethany, but it's also his journey back to life. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
