On a red-clay farm in Georgia, he learns all there is to know about cotton-chopping, hog-killing, watermelon-thumping, and mule-handling. School provides a quick course in practical joking, schoolboy crushes, athletic glory, and clandestine sex. But it is Porters family-- his genteel, patient mother, his swarm of cousins, his snuff-dipping grandmother, and, most of all, his beloved though flawed father--who teaches Porter the painful truths about growing up strong enough to run with the horsemen.\"The writing is elegant, reflective, and amused. Mr. Sams is a storyteller sure of his audience . . . gifted with perfect timing.\"--The New York Times Book Review\"Remarkable both for its humor and its sustained and detailed picture of a mischievous Southern farmboys life during the Great Depression.\"--The Washington Post\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51531275370784,"sku":"NEW0140072748","price":12.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91RhuQK4kcL.jpg?v=1777277228","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/run-with-the-horsemen-penguin-contemporary-american-fiction-series-0140072748","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
