| 內容簡介： |
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.
