The Walk Of Life

By Jim Yoakum

In Gilded Age New York, sixteen men enter a six-day walking contest inside the glittering Crystal Palladium-a spectacle of endurance that soon becomes a test of pride, faith, and folly. As exhaustion strips away pretense, rivalries turn intimate and absurd, and the contest itself becomes a mirror of a restless century learning to worship motion for its own sake. Told with dry wit and aching precision, THE WALK OF LIFE is a darkly funny, deeply human novel about ambition, spectacle, pride, and the quiet desperation that drives people to keep moving long after the finish line has vanished.
