Description
This humorous autobiographical novel follows an unexpected journey through a midlife crisis. As he approaches fifty, what does a man really long for: the smell of petrol and the wind in his hair on a powerful motorcycle or yacht, racing through life before it gets away? Miika has no driving licence and no desire to be a rebel, so he decides to take up running, lose almost twenty kilos, put on racing shoes and enter a real competition. Can a sedentary writer become a fit sprinter? How much will it hurt, what drives him forward, and will he manage to beat the Finnish 400-metre record for his age category, as he has resolved to do? In this autobiographical novel, Miika Nousiainen pokes fun not only at the Finnish character, as in his previous books, but also at himself.
