The River Less Run: A Memoir

by Tim McLaurin

Asheboro, NC:: Down Home Press,, (2000). Very near fine in a near fine dustjacket (some rubbing to the folds of the dj).. First printing. North Carolina writer's second memoir, one which finds him "smack-dab in middle age: he's a 45-year-old cancer survivor who has piled his brother, his two kids, and his mother into a Winnebago and set off west to see the Rocky Mountains. But this is no mere road trip re-creation; it's a series of funny, sad, always fascinating glimpses of a life that was often lived too close to the edge." (Booklist). Among the twists and turns of this book is the discovery that the cancer he thought he had beaten years before is back. 259 pp.
