Reseña del editor:
An enjoyable, undemanding read . . . there is plenty of wit here (GUARDIAN)
Riders who hop onto the back of Smithy Ide's bike and ride America with him will cherish the journey. I loved this sad, funny, life-affirming novel (Wally Lamb)
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.

Within the span of one week, Smithy s parents die of injuries from a car accident and he learns his long-lost sister s remains are waiting to be claimed in a Los Angeles morgue. Smithy s reaction to these tragedies is to climb on his three-speed Raleigh bicycle (long forgotten in his parent s garage) and set off on an incredible cross country ride. Smithy s trip is more than one of miles logged and states crossed. As he encounters men and women at their best and worst, he begins to remember who he was before beer, Vietnam and loneliness helped him to forget. He starts to find himself - his waistline - and friends as well *** Quantity Available: 8. Category: Fiction; Action & Adventure; ISBN: 0316729744. ISBN/EAN: 9780316729741. Inventory No: 07010442.
