Spirit Run: A 6,000-Mile Marathon Through North America's Stolen Land by Noé Álvarez
4.0
I am so grateful that my friend Gina recommended this book to me. This unassuming narrative delivers way more than it has to, to be honest. Ostensibly, it is about a young man who embarks on a marathon run but there are so many themes that unfold: cultural identity and authenticity, bullying,
immigration, etc. I only have two quibbles: 1) it was difficult to discern some of the runners (maybe this is a deliberate writing choice); 2) I want to hear more about the author's return to college. Perhaps he is saving those stories for the next book?
