Again to Carthage is the sequel to Once A Runner, the classic running novel by writer John L. Parker, Jr. I thoroughly enjoyed this book as much as the first one.
This book also focuses on Quenton Cassidy, the protagonist of Once A Runner. In this book, Quenton has returned from the Olympics and is an established lawyer in Florida. He still engages in running, but spends a fair amount of time practicing law, playing in various recreational leagues, and boating down to the Bahamas where he dives and fishes. After the death of his friend and some of his kin in North Carolina, Quenton decides to try running competitively again. This time, however, he has his eye on the marathon. So, he enlists the help of his trusted friend and coach, Bruce Denton.
This book beautifully captures the thoughts of an aging male coming to terms with his mortality. Plus, it brilliantly portrays the trials and tribulations of training for a race.
