Brendan O'Meara joins the Exchange to discuss his new book, "The Front Runner: The Life of Steve Prefontaine."
“Steve Prefontaine may have been impossible to catch up with in person, but Brendan O’Meara manages to do so on the page, capturing the fragility and ferocity of the world-class runner in all his contradictory record-breaking glory. Sports fans will appreciate how the special culture of the state of Oregon as a breeding ground for championship runners comes in for more than a cameo. The Front Runner is a deeply researched, painstakingly crafted edgy elegy worthy of its legendary subject.”
Madeleine Blais, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and author of "Queen of the Court."
