After the Race recounts the unraveling of the family Reed. and the
raw, serpentine trails the father-son pair of Wayne-an Army Special
Forces veteran whose reckless pursuit of contentment propels the
story-and Charles-a gifted runner whose effortless successes on the
track contrast his struggles everywhere else-blaze through, over
and around Wayne's worsening alcoholism and deteriorating mental
health. The plot ricochets between vaulted ceilings-an enormous
financial windfall, near misses on distance running records,
romance and reunion-and concrete basement floors-arrests,
bar-fights, accidents, near-death experiences, the Blizzard of
1993, and the collapse of North American Honeybee populations. The
result is a character-driven exploration of the tension between
appetite and restraint, between gunpowder and glue, set deep in
Virginia apple country, along the northern rim of the Shenandoah
Valley.
