A Farewell to Legs

“He was worse than lost; he was truly lost. He lay there, one of the lost generation.”


“Is this, he thought, where the great jogging elephants go on their great jogs?”


A Hemingway fiction in our time, Author Scott Fivelson takes the reader on a Papa-esque journey from Paris to Pamplona as a marathoner on his last legs reflects on the sport as it might have been written about if Hemingway had been a runner.


Fivelson is the author of "Dial L for Latch-Key" (a one-act play), "Leading the Witness" (a one-act play) and "Johnny Passe" (noir fiction), all published by Hen House Press.


"A Farewell to Legs" is a satire of a classic, and a classic satire. 


An audiobook of "A Farewell to Legs" is available, as read by Mariel Hemingway.
