Praise

"A beautiful, heartbreaking book. Before the finish line, we've been to Castro's Cuba and on pilgrimage to Croatia, we've faced down addiction and depression, have made final peace with the failings of our bodies, and are left with the final triumph of two men, at odds, though bound by will and desire. Like that marathon 25 years ago, Duel in the Sun is absolutely riveting."

author of Driving Mr. Albert: A Trip Across America with Einstein's Brain
