"The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner" is a short story by Alan Sillitoe, published in 1959 as part of a short story collection of the same name. The work focuses on Smith, a poor Nottingham teenager from a dismal home in a working class area, who has bleak prospects in life and few interests beyond petty crime. The boy turns to long-distance running as a method of both an emotional and a physical escape from his situation. The story was adapted for a 1962 film of the same title, with Sillitoe writing the screenplay and Tony Richardson directing. The part of Smith (now called Colin) was played by Tom Courtenay. wiki
Ein Buch der 1000 Bücher!
15. April 2017 The novel is short, easy and quickly to read. It was written in 1958, 13 years after World War II, but bad characters are still desribed with something German "like German generals", "Hitler-face" or "Hitler-boy". But there are wonderful words too, like "lily-white workless hands" or "to sob my socks off" - great. The theme was interesting.
