Readers and reviewers alike raved about Ron McLarty's poignant fiction debut The Memory of Running and are eager to devour his next great work, Traveler, which Viking will publish on January 22, 2007. Traveler introduces Jono Riley, a fifty-something part-time actor and bartender living in Manhattan and specializing in one-hander (one-character) plays, usually performed in run-down theatres where the attendance averages only a handful of people at night. Traveler begins with a letter from Cubby D'Agastino, one of Jono's buddy's from back home informing him that his sister Marie, a girl to whom, as Jono asserts, "I have compared all women since," has died. The news propels Jono to travel back in time and revisit the old working-class East Providence neighborhood where he grew up. McLarty brilliantly weaves scenes between past and present, and takes his readers on a rich and heartrending journey through the story of Jono's coming-of-age in the early 1960s with his three best friends Cubby, Billy, and Bobby, to the shocking narrative that unfolds as he returns forty years later to uncover the cause of his first love Marie's death.
